If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security.

Samuel Adams was born in Boston, Massachusetts on September 27, 1722. He was a leader of the fight against British colonial rule, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Adams was a cousin of John Adams who became President of the United


One thing that can't be denied these men, although human like the rest of us, were men of Faith and Courage.
