Samuel Adams Born

On
this day patriot Samuel
Adams was born. After attending Harvard College, Adams decided not to
pursue his father's brewing business, but instead turned himself to a political
life in Boston. From 1753 - 65 he was a tax collector in Boston, and took
every opportunity to ferment a desire for American independence from England.
The architect of the Boston
Tea Party, and signer of the Declaration of Independence, Adams would
go on to serve a term as Congressman, lieutenant governor then governor
for three terms.
