Eulogy on Samuel Adams? How does this sound?

We Answered:

Truly wonderful! As a Presidential Historian, who, also has had a keen interest in the Adams family, in particular, this eulogy beautifully summarizes the life of Samuel Adams, who, has, sadly been overlooked by his more famous cousin, the President, John Adams.
Samuel Adams was for the Patriot cause even before his cousin John. As you may know from studying you history, John defended the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre.

why is it that the US gov can not learn from history?

We Answered:

Depends on what history you're lookin' at.

If you don't see Adimawhatthehellshisnameajad and the rise of Islamo fascism as a threat. Then maybe you aren't learning from history.

US Constitution Test Questions?

We Answered:

All of these questions can be found in your study guide you probably got for the test. I had to pass 8th grade once too. You see this is the United States Constitution. It is the single most important document in US history.

This is the stuff that you should consider a duty to learn because it is your rights. This is what protects us from everyone else out there.

If your study guide cannot help you or you did not get one go to a library and look up the info in the many books on US History or online as you can. This is some pretty easy stuff and very important stuff.

I hate to sound so old and lame but it is what it is...Besides, did you really think someone would come and answer 50+ questions for you?

Eulogy on Samuel Adams? How does this sound?

We Answered:

What can I say about the American patriot and politician Samuel Adams? He lived an amazing and fulfilling life with a list of achievements that had positive effects on us all.

After graduating from Harvard College, Adams began his career in his own private business, but he decided to switch his main focus to politics. He had a leading role in the Boston Tea Party and was one of the founders of the Sons of Liberty. Adams also signed the Declaration of Independence, served in the Continental Congress and became Lt. Governor, Governor, and Massachusetts Senator.

Adams was a vocal opponent of several laws passed by the British Parliament to raise revenue in the American Colonies; and by 1773, Adams and his Boston associates had pressured England to rescind all these measures but one, the Tea Act. The Tea Act was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain to raise the tax on tea. Opposition for the tea act reached its peak as tea ships were about to arrive. Adams and the Boston Committee of Correspondence contacted nearby committees to rally support. Adams wrote a circular letter calling for a mass meeting to be held at Faneuil Hall on November 29. Thousands of people arrived, so many that the meeting was moved to the larger Old South Meeting House. Many colonists, refusing the shipments of tea from three ships, boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor.

In 1774 the Massachusetts Legislature sent Adams and four others as representatives to the First Continental Congress. Adams served Massachusetts again at the Second Continental Congress where he was an advocate for independence and confederation for the American Colonies.

He was also one of the founders of The Sons of Liberty, a secret organization of American patriots which originated in the Thirteen Colonies during the American Revolution. Members of the organization resisted British taxes and acts such as the Stamp Act. British authorities and supports considered them “seditious rebels.”

Adams served Continental Congress until his return to Boston in 1781. He initially opposed the new Constitution of the United States, but finally supported its ratification in Massachusetts. He then served as Governor of Massachusetts from 1793 to 1797. After ending his term as governor he retired from politics, and then suffered from an “essential tremor” deeming him unable to write. He passed away at the age of 81 on October 2, 1803.

Coming from the tradition that Adams had been a brewer, the Boston Beer Company named a beer after him which become an award winning beer. As you can see he lived a life that no ordinary man would live, and without some of his accomplishments, America would not be where it is today. So we need to cherish and remember Samuel Adams for years to come.

Comment; Sounds good! But you mention the brewer part at the bottom only. Include it up in the rest of the essay as well.
