He was Known as "the Father of the American Revolution"

His cousin was John Adams, the second presidents of The United States. Samuel graduated from Harvard from a master of art degrees, when he failed on what he was doing he changed to politics. He was elected to the Massachusetts legislature. He also was the one who organized the committee of correspondence.

   If we love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
   greater than the anima
ting contest for freedom, go home from us

   in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down
   and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon
   you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

                                                  —Samuel Adams
