Summary

Boston in the 1760s-70s was a fuse. This episode follows the improbable patriot who kept lighting it: Samuel Adams. From failed businessman to revolutionary mastermind, Adams turns personal tragedy, political convictions, and relentless grit into a movement that will ignite a continent. Step inside smoky tavern rooms, tense standoffs, midnight meetings, and the blood-stained snow of King Street. Experience the Boston Massacre, the Tea Party, and the birth of a resistance network that transforms 13 quarrelsome colonies into a united front. This is the captivating story of the unsung hero behind Boston’s rebellion, which became the epicenter of the American Revolution.
