Key Figures in the Boston Massacre Trials Two Private Hughs: White and Montgomery Branding of Montgomery and Killroy Two privates in the British 29th Regiment of Worcestershire named Hugh, Hugh White and Hugh Montgomery, played central roles in the tragic events on the night of March 5, 1770. This has been a cause for confusion: in one account of the Boston Massacre, Harry Hansen's The Boston Massacre: An Episode of Dissent and Violence , the two Hughs become one. Hugh White On March 5, 1770, Hugh White served as sentry on King Street. Some time after eight o'clock, White entered into an exchange with a wig-maker's apprentice, Edward Garrick, who was demanding payment from a British officer. The exchange escalated into violence, as White struck Garrick with his musket, knocking him to the the ground. Regardless of which version of the story is more accurate, it is undisputed that within minutes an unruly crowd of young men surrounded Montgomery and began hurling insults such as "Bloody lobster back!" at him. When the crowd swelled and he began being pelted with pieces of ice, Montgomery hurried to the Custom House, banged on the door and shouted, "Turn out, Main Guard!" The eight-man guard finally emerged and marched to his rescue through a swelling crowd.

82. The Amistad Case- The Arguments Of John Quincy Adams Before The Supreme Court A transcript of the arguments adams presented to the nation s highest court in the landmark case. http://www.multied.com/Amistad/amistad.html

Argument of John Quincy Adams Before the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of the United States, Appellants, vs. Cinque, and others, Africans, captured in the schooner Amistad, by Lieut. Gedney, Delivered on the 24th of February and 1st of March 1841. Originally published in 1841 by S.W. Benedict ARGUMENT OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS In rising to address this Court as one of its attorneys and counselors, regularly admitted at a great distance of time, I feel that an apology might well be expected where I shall perhaps be more likely to exhibit at once the infinities of age and the inexperience of youth, than to render those services to the individuals whose lives and liberties aren't the disposal of this Court which I would most earnestly desire to render. But as I am unwilling to employ one moment of the time of the Court in anything that regards my own personal situation, I shall reserve what few observations I may think necessary to offer as an apology till the close of my argument on the merits of the question. "Constans et perpetua voluntas, jus suum cuique tribuendi."

Patrick Henry's impassioned speech and Thomas Paine's inflammatory Common Sense might also be among the voices that still reverberate over the centuries. One man who's not as likely to be foremost in our minds is John Adams. Aside from his notable service as our second President, Adams seems to have drifted into the shadows of his more celebrated peers. With the publication of JOHN ADAMS, David McCullough has reassembled the players, provided the historical stage and compiled a voluminous biography that sheds welcome light on both the politician and the man. As McCullough points out, Adams may have been a reluctant politician who preferred home and family to the hectic life of public servant. Nevertheless, when he realized the struggling colonies needed men of wisdom and dedication to guide the events that were unfolding, he became one of the most tenacious patriots of the Revolution. And contrary to what lesser historical accounts might have us believe, his voice of reason and his unflagging persistence are more directly responsible for the outcome than those who usually receive the lion's share of the credit. In 1765, with the creation of the Stamp Act, the first glimmer of the astute political mind and eloquent writing of John Adams became public.

Related Categories: REFERENCE LINKS PRINT EMAIL Adams, John Adams, John (1735-1826), guided the young United States through some of its most serious troubles. He served under George Washington as the first vice president, and followed him as the second president. The United States government moved from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., during Adams's administration, and he became the first president to live in the White House. Adams was the first chief executive whose son also served as president. Adams played a leading role in the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, and was a signer of the historic document. He had spoken out boldly for separation from the United Kingdom at a time when most colonial leaders still hoped to settle their differences with the British. As president, Adams fought a split in his own party over his determination to avoid war with France. He kept the peace, but in the process he lost a second term as president. Adams was succeeded by Thomas Jefferson. In appearance, Adams was short and stout, with a ruddy complexion. He seldom achieved popularity during his long political career. Adams was anything but a cold man, and those who knew him well, loved him. But his bluntness, impatience, and vanity made more enemies than friends. On the great decisions of his public career, history has proved him right and his opponents wrong. But his clumsiness in human relations often caused him to be misunderstood. Few people knew about another part of Adams's personality. His diary and personal letters show his genial, affectionate, and often playful nature.
