From what I’ve leaned about early American history, Samuel Adams just may be the man that started the American Revolution. He was supposedly hard headed and determined, but dedicated to free himself from the bonds of England’s rule.
Old Sammy was a smart man. He knew and understood that if the new nation was to survive, it would depend upon the individual citizen to stand erect with a set of morals that would support laws formed to make this a free and independent nation. And, he gave warning, what would happen, if the people did not.
"Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt." —Samuel Adams
I think Samuel would be alarmed today and Paul Revere would have to ride again.
“The progressives are coming. The progressives are coming.”
