Description

Life, liberty, and property weren’t just theories – they were the foundation of the American Revolution. John Locke wrote them, the Declaration adopted them, but Samuel Adams turned them into action. In 1772, he drafted an incredibly important, but almost totally forgotten document that led to the network of communication and resistance and laid the groundwork for independence.
