Description
Samuel Adams (1722 -1803) was an American statesman, political philosopher, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Adams was a leader of the movement that became the American Revolution and John Hancock's mentor. After Parliament passed the Coercive Acts in 1774, Adams attended the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. He helped guide Congress towards issuing the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and helped draft the Articles of Confederation. Adams returned to Massachusetts after the American Revolution, where he served in the state senate and was eventually elected governor. Adams suffered from what is now believed to have been essential tremor, a movement disorder that, in the final decade of his life, rendered him unable to write. He died in 1803 at the age of 81.
