__Samuel Adams__

Colonial leader,Patriot, Politicion, and The Father of the American Revolution.Those words all discribe me! Hi, I am Samuel Adams.

I was born September 27, 1772 in Boston,MA.My mother,Mary, gave birth to me.My father, also Samuel, was there. I was 10th of 12 children only two of us lived past our 3rd birthday, one was me.The 2nd president of the U.S.A.,John Adams ,is my 2nd cousin.I got married to Elizabeth Checkly. We had six children,only two of them survived ,Samuel Jr. ans Samantha Adams.Elizabeth died after the last child was born. I got married to Elizabeth Wells, we had no children together.

When I was 14 I went to Harvard College. I studied Greek and Latin at college. I graduated from Harvard in 1740 with an M.A. degree.

After I graduated, I became a brewer.I wasn't very successful. Then I became a Tax collector, and was unsuccessful at that too. So then I served in Continental Congress. After that I was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. That's when I became a colonial leader.

Here are some reasons why I was such a great leader. I was a Patriot and Politician who made oppistion to the British to rule in America. I made people work for their rights peacefully through comitees.I also worked as a spokesman in my home town of Boston. I passed seversl laws when I was in Continental Congress. Corresponded widely with other colonial leaders. I was also the Governor of this Commonwelth.

Now this is the sad part. I died early Sunday morning, October 2,1803. I died at the age of 81 and of old age ,in Boston,Massachusetts. I retired 2 years before that, when I was 79 in 1801.

That was my lifetime. Ihope you enjoyed my presintation. Thank you for listening and have a great day!
