Samuel+Adams

Samuel Adams was a member of the Stamp Act Congress. He worked to make Britain take back the Stamp Act. Adams worked with James Otis and they and other delegates talked at the Congress. First, the Massachusetts House approved it. Then invitations were sent out. So, Adams began his career campaigning against Britain before the war even started.
 * What are his Accomplishments?**

Samuel Adams was a man with many accomplishments. He was elected to the Massachusetts Assembly in 1765. In 1774, he was a delegate to the [|1st Continental Congress]. Samuel Adams was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Samuel Adams was also one of the Sons of Liberty.


 * Boston Tea Party**

This took place in 1773. Guess who organized it? Samuel Adams was one of the organizers of the Boston Tea Party. Picture this. It's a dark winter night (December 16). You're disguised as a group of Mohawk Indians. There are 50 -60 of you. Slowly, you creep on board the three ships. You break open the crates and toss the tea overboard. Got that?

That was what Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty did. Only, they didn't just imagine it, they did it. Why? To protest the tea act which Britain had recently passed. And then, Britain was on their tail.


 * The Regulars are Coming, The Regulars are Coming**

Paul Revere said those words directed at Samuel Adams and John Hancock. The British were after them! They wanted the latter for many reasons. King George the III was offering a reward for anyone who could catch the Sons of Liberty especially the two of them. Now for why they wanted them. They were Patriots.. They lead protests. Samuel Adams had organized the Boston Tea Party. This was before the signing of the Declaration of Independence though. It was in 1775.
