John Adams is arguably America’s most underrated Founding Father. He has no currency that bears his image. No national holidays celebrate his birth. He’s nearly never named as anyone’s favorite president. And he has no dedicated memorial in Washington, D.C. Despite this, he was perhaps the most influential early American, rivaling Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin. Adams was a key advocate for American independence, nominating Washington as commander of the Continental Army and helping draft the Declaration of Independence. As president, he averted war with France through the Convention of 1800, prioritizing peace despite political backlash. He also defended British soldiers in the Boston Massacre trial, showcasing his commitment to justice, and laid the foundation for the U.S. Navy by establishing the Department of the Navy in 1798. How can this be remedied? Today’s guest, Jackie Cushman, is the Chair of the Adams Memorial Commission, created by Congress to establish a Washington, DC memorial to John Adams and his family. She seeks to commemorate the lives of him and his descendants, as the original philosopher-statesmen of America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greg Jenner is joined in the eighteenth century by Professor Frank Cogliano and comedian and actor Patton Oswalt for a special Fourth of July episode all about the American War of Independence. Also known as the American Revolutionary War, 2025 marks 250 years since the start of the conflict in 1775, when the first battles between the British army and the colonial resistance were fought at Lexington and Concord. But what caused Britain's North American colonies to rebel against the king and government in London? At what point did they start to see themselves as American and not British? And how did a colonial militia take on an imperial superpower? This episode charts the growing rift between Britain and its American colonists, taking in famous events like the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the calling of the first Continental Congress, all the way through to the Declaration of Independence and the course of the revolutionary war itself. We learn how America fought to free itself from the shackles of British rule, and meet some well-known names from history, including Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and George Washington. And we also ask whose freedom was being fought for, and who – such as Black and Indigenous Americans – got left behind. If you're a fan of fearless freedom fighters, political wrangling and stunning military victories, you'll love our episode on the American War of Independence.If you want more American political history, listen to our episode on Becoming America, or episodes on abolitionists Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth.

He’s famous for his ride but he’s essentially so much more. The story of Paul Revere is the story of the American Revolution. Always smack dab in the thick of things, he was an ordinary citizen living in extraordinarily turbulent times.

This Fourth of July, we're spotlighting one of the most iconic trials in American history. While the next regular Lawyer 2 Lawyer episode will drop on Monday, today we're revisiting one of America's earliest and most pivotal legal battles: the Boston Massacre trial. This episode comes from Craig's recent miniseries In Dispute, exclusively on Legal Talk Network. ---- When an unruly crowd of angry colonists attacked a small platoon of British soldiers in 1770, five Bostonians were killed and several others wounded. John Adams, a then-34-year-old lawyer who would eventually become the second president of the United States, took on a bold and unpopular defense of the soldiers and orchestrated their trials in a way that defied conventional thinking. To better understand the historical context of the Boston Massacre, what actually went down, the aftermath of the tragedy, and the surprising takeaway trial lawyers should have after hearing John Adams' closing arguments, Attorney J. Craig Williams invites you to bundle up and relive the astounding altercation that's still talked about to this day.  LINKS: Listen to all episodes of In Dispute: 10 Famous Trials That Changed History Purchase the e-book.  Purchase the hardcover.

Welcome to The Wandering Pilgrims, where history and faith intertwine to tell the stories of those who shaped our nation. Today, we delve into the life of Samuel Adams, often hailed as the father of the American Revolution. His journey is one of unwavering faith, relentless pursuit of liberty, and deep trust in God's sovereignty. Born on September 27, 1722, in Boston, Massachusetts, Samuel Adams was nurtured in a household that valued education and faith. His early education at home and Boston Latin School prepared him for Harvard, which he entered at the tender age of 14. Although he aspired to be a minister, his parents directed him toward business, apprenticing him under Thomas Cushing. Despite his parents' wishes, Adams' heart was set on serving the public. In 1756, he was elected as Boston's tax collector, a role that highlighted his empathy and integrity. His reluctance to force collections on the impoverished spoke volumes of his character and earned him the trust of the common people. Adams' passion for liberty was ignited by his strong belief in God's Providence. He believed that freedom was not just a political ideal, but a divine mandate. This conviction led him to initiate the Massachusetts Circular and play pivotal roles in events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Adams' faith was not confined to private devotion. As a member of the Continental Congress, he advocated for national days of prayer and fasting, recognizing that the success of the American cause depended on God's favor. His suggestion to have the meeting opened with a prayer by a non-Puritan minister demonstrated his spirit of religious tolerance and reliance on God's guidance. Samuel Adams' political career was marked by significant contributions, including signing the Declaration of Independence and helping draft the Massachusetts Constitution, which reflected his belief in the Christian foundation of governance. His life was a testament to steadfast faith and public service, guided by an unwavering trust in God's sovereign plan. Samuel Adams' story reminds us that true leadership is rooted in faith and integrity. Thank you for joining us here at The Wandering Pilgrims.

In this gripping episode of The Wandering Pilgrims, we delve into the fiery rhetoric and passionate patriotism of John Hancock's speech, delivered on the fourth anniversary of the Boston Massacre. Hancock's words resonate with a profound sense of duty and an unwavering commitment to liberty as he addresses his fellow countrymen. He paints a vivid picture of the oppressive British rule, condemning tyranny and calling for a righteous government founded on reason and justice. With a fervent call to action, Hancock implores his audience to guard their freedoms and resist the seductive allure of wealth and luxury that might lead to their downfall. Hancock's speech is a rallying cry for the American spirit, urging unity and courage in the face of adversity. He highlights the importance of a well-disciplined militia as the true safeguard of liberty and emphasizes the need for vigilance against treachery from within. His eloquent words serve as a timeless reminder of the sacrifices made for freedom and the enduring spirit of those who dared to defy oppression. Join us as we explore the powerful themes of justice, courage, and the indomitable will of a people determined to secure their independence.

J. Craig Williams believes empathy is an important quality to be a trial lawyer. It's served him in his profession, and it's a tool he has also been using as an author trying to get into the minds of people from past eras. In How Would You Decide? 10 Famous Trials That Changed History, Book One, Williams examines cases and trials from history through the lens of a modern trial lawyer. He uses the accounts of the historical proceedings to illustrate current principles of litigation and civil rights, and explains what each can tell us about the rule of law.  In this episode of The Modern Law Library, Williams tells the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles that empathy was key in trying to understand the people involved in events like the Salem Witch trials, and figuring out how injustices could be perpetrated. He realized there were parallels to be drawn between society in late-17th century Salem and American society today. The 10 trials featured in this first volume of How Would You Decide? are: The Trial of Jesus The Salem Witch Trials Boston Massacre Trial Civil War Tipping Point and Aftermath Trials (Dred Scott, John Brown, Plessy v. Ferguson) O.K. Corral Shootout Trial of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday The Black Sox Trial The Scopes “Monkey Trial” The Lindy Chamberlain Trial The McMartin Preschool Trial The O.J. Simpson Murder Trial The case that most readers bring up when speaking with Williams is the Boston Massacre trial. Williams, who grew up in New England, says he was surprised to find during his research that there was much he hadn't known about the case himself. Founding Father and future president John Adams was the attorney who successfully defended the British soldiers who fired into the Massachusetts crowd, an extremely risky professional and social decision. Williams and Rawles discuss Adams's representation and what it meant for the establishment of the rule of law in the United States. Listeners might best know Williams from his Lawyer2Lawyer podcast, which he launched in 2005, making him a pioneer in legal podcasting. Since Williams was already familiar with audio production, How Would You Decide? was a natural fit for multimedia. He launched a companion website, 10FamousTrials.com, making available more of the source material he relied on to write the book. He also partnered with Legal Talk Network to release a miniseries podcast, which is currently in production. In Dispute covers one of the 10 trials each episode, featuring commentary and reenactments drawn from trial transcripts and historical documents. In this episode, Williams and Rawles discuss his research process, how he selected which trials to feature, and what might make it into Book Two. They also get into the holiday spirit by talking about The Sled, a Christmas story Williams and his wife wrote for their grandchildren.

By the mid 1700's the British in North America had established 13 colonies and a large population some of which were 2nd or 3rd generation British Americans, having never set foot on the home islands. Being separated from Great Britain by 3,000 miles, taking 6-8 weeks to cross the Atlantic, the colonies began to feel isolated or maybe a little independent (see what I did there) from the King and Parliament. What didn't help make the colonists feel seen was the total lack of any representation in Parliament, meaning the colonies had no say in how they were being governed and how they were being taxed. British appointed Governors oversaw each colony independently, and ensured the will of His Majesty was enforced. Well fast forward to another war with France, this one inadvertently started in North America by a very familiar future American Founding Father. The 7 years war left Britain victorious but financially devastated, Parliament's solution was to tax the colonist, figuring they should start paying their way for Britain's war expenses. Now as you can imagine the Colonists were pissed, understandably so being they didn't have any voice in the matter but at the same time, I mean come on, we kinda started this particular war with France. This Taxation without Representation was just one of many greivances brewing in the colonies, there were a couple situations in Boston, one involving some redcoats firing into a hostile crowd and another involving making a nice spot of tea using the harbor as the kettle. These events and many more culminated in a standoff between British soldiers and Colonial Militia at a little town called Lexington where a "shot heard round the world" changed the course of world history forever. Join us for Part 1 of the American Revolutionary War.

When an unruly crowd of angry colonists attacked a small platoon of British soldiers in 1770, five Bostonians were killed and several others wounded. John Adams, a then-34-year-old lawyer who would eventually become the second president of the United States, took on a bold and unpopular defense of the soldiers and orchestrated their trials in a way that defied conventional thinking. To better understand the historical context of the Boston Massacre, what actually went down, the aftermath of the tragedy, and the surprising takeaway trial lawyers should have after hearing John Adams' closing arguments, Attorney J. Craig Williams invites you to bundle up and relive the astounding altercation that's still talked about to this day.  LINKS: Sign up for our newsletter so that you're the first to know when new episodes drop!

He’s famous for his ride but he’s essentially so much more. The story of Paul Revere is the story of the American Revolution. Always smack dab in the thick of things, he was an ordinary citizen living in extraordinarily turbulent times. Revere played key roles in colonial tax fights and riots, the infamous Boston Massacre, the Tea Party, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, and even the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. In this fast-paced, dramatic account, Paul Revere’s life pulses with energy. Our guest will explore his family and church life along with his revolutionary contribution as a spy, entrepreneur, express rider, and commercial visionary.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Fourth of July!  We've created special episodes to commemorate, celebrate, and remember the Fourth of July for years. Many of our episodes have focused on the Declaration of Independence, how and why it was created, the ideas behind it, and its sacred words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” This year, we examine a different aspect of the Declaration of Independence: the man behind the boldest signature on the document: John Hancock. Brooke Barbier is a public historian and holds a Ph.D. in American History from Boston College. She's also the author of the first biography in many years about John Hancock, it's called King Hancock: The Radical Influence of a Moderate Founding Father.

Boston College Law school associate professor Jeffrey Cohen joins Radio Boston to discuss what the Boston Massacre, Sacco and Vanzetti and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev trials can teach us about the prosecution of Donald Trump.

We're going to do something a little different tonight. Tonight, you're going to get a history lesson. One of my favorite subjects to study is early American history, our founding generation, who I think, and not to disrespect any others, is the greatest generation. Early American history is exciting, and when you really study the history, you cannot help but see the hand of God at work. Now, a lot of folks have heard about things like the Boston Massacre, and they've heard about the field of Lexington, and Concord, and Bunker Hill, but they really don't know anything about it. There's an element to it all that's not contained in secular history books. And that's the part that we really want to concentrate some attention on tonight, because there's a spiritual ingredient there, that needs to be understood by God's people, and I think it's very important that we do understand it.

On this episode of Our American Stories, what we are about to do now is precise. Instead of telling the all-encompassing story of John Adams, we are going to dial it in on one specific moment in his life; one that best captures this man's humanity and ideals more than any other. And as you will soon learn, Adams himself will agree with our selection. Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My husband, Andrew Harrington, and I podcast from our Boston hotel room. Our third guest, the hotel housekeeper, makes multiple off-MIC cameos.  We are in Massachusetts in an effort to follow the Illini Basketball Team through March Madness. This obsession (of Andrews) leads to an achilleas injury from overuse of the gas pedal during these 14-hour up and back drives.Will the injury effect Andrew's marathon training? How did he fare in his past marathons?  How did hernia surgery go and was Andrew a good nurse? The beginning of this "Tales From Two Townies" starts out rough with a placating apology from my male nurse. Lastly, Andrew the vigilante strikes again when calling the police on a naked man walking around the grocery store in Savoy. And. Another. Basement. Flood. Thank you so much for listening!

The so-called “March to the American Revolution” comprised many more events than just the Stamp Act Riots, the Boston Massacre, and the Tea Crisis. One event we often overlook played an essential and direct role in the events needed to draw the thirteen rebellious British North American colonies into a union of coordinated response. That event was the Gaspee Affair in 1772. Adrian Weimer, a professor of history at Providence College, has been researching the Gaspee Affair and what it can tell us about the constitutional balance between the British Empire and its colonies. She leads us on an investigation of the Gaspee Affair.
