Samuel Adams

He was born in Boston the 16 of September in 1722, and what makes him so important is that he was the leader of this movement, the American Revolution, and he was the second cousin to John Adams. Even though he studied in Harvard College, he became an unsuccesful businessman and tax collector. He has been a controversial character in American history, as he was described in two ways. Accounts written in the 19th century had praised him as someone who had supported his fellow colonists towards the independence way before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. But also the second point of view, he was also depicted as a master of propaganda who produced mob violence to achieve his goals. This interpretations have been challenged by some modern scholars, who argue about his true histoical record. Samuel Adams perished in the 2nd of October in 1803.
