Summary "The Writings of Samuel Adams - Volume 2" by Samuel Adams is a historical collection edited by Harry Alonso Cushing, likely compiled during the late 19th century. This volume chronicles a crucial period in American history from 1770 to 1773, focusing on the political and social turmoil leading up to the Revolutionary War. The writings within tackle issues related to colonial governance, individual liberties, and the rising tensions between American colonists and British authority, showcasing Adams’ fervor for political activism. The opening of this volume presents an array of articles and correspondence reflecting Adams' commitment to civil rights and reaction against perceived injustices. It begins with articles signed under pseudonyms like "Vindex" and "Determinatus," discussing the power dynamics between the Governor and the General Assembly, and advocating for the non-importation agreement in response to British taxation. Through his communications with figures like Benjamin Franklin and John Hancock, as well as memorials from the Town of Boston, Adams articulates the grievances of the colonists, emphasizing the importance of legislative representation and accountability in light of escalating tensions with the British Crown. This slice of history sets the stage for understanding the resistance that fueled the American Revolution. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
