Samuel Adams


The Bostonians were influenced against British rule by Samuel Adams, a member of the First and Second Continental Congress. On the night of December 16, 1773, Adams and Hancock, another Bostonian leader, sent out the Sons of Liberty disguised as Native Americans to dump the tea shipment from Britain into the Boston harbor. This was a protest against the Tea Act issued by King George III.
