Happy 4th from sam adams
bFaneuil Hall has served as a marketplace and a meeting hall since 1742. Funding was provided by a wealthy merchant, Peter Faneuil, for the construction and local artisan to create the grasshopper weather vane that still perches on the building's cupola. Inspirational speeches by Samuel Adams and other patriots were given at Faneuil Hall. These oratories became the footstool for America's desire to obtain independence from the British.

The Beginning: Sam and John Adams in Massachusetts (Part 2 of 10)
The Coming of the American Revolution: Part 2 of 10.
Robert J. Allison, Chairman of the Department of History at Suffolk University, tells the story of Massachusetts in the period leading up to the American War of Independence.
The people of Massachusetts had more power over their own government than anyone else in the British empire. These independent minded colonists increased in their feelings of bitterness and resentment as the crown raised taxes on American goods and sent soldiers to enforce the new policies. These building tensions eventually led to outward expressions of resistance. The Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party made the American Revolution inevitable.
Dr. Robert J. Allison is chairman of the history department of Suffolk University in Boston and teaches courses in American Constitutional history and the history of Boston at Harvard Extension School. He is the author of several books, including The Crescent Obscured: The United States and the Muslim World, 1776-1815 (2000); A Short History of Boston (2004); Stephen Decatur, American Naval Hero (2005); The Boston Massacre (2006); The Boston Tea Party (2007); and The American Revolution: A Concise History (2011).
Time capsule found at State House may be oldest in USA
A time capsule placed in a cornerstone by Paul Revere and Samuel Adams at the State House is unearthed Thursday. Subscribe to WCVB on YouTube now for more:
