Defending the Boston Massacre - John Adams

John adams was born in braintree in 17 35. His father was a farmer and a church deacon, his mother came from the influential boylston family. Adams became enchanted with the law, apprenticing in a worcester law office and then earning a master's degree at harvard in 17 58. In 17 73, parliament will reignite the patriot flame when they attempt to bale out the totally mismanaged east india company by allowing them to import tea directly into the colonies. Next week, we'll begin with two years of relative calm, which everyone hoped meant that the crisis was now over.
