was an example of a true American. Adams was a man who explored many options in life
until he found his true calling in life– politics. He was a major asset to the colonies in
their quest for equality and then in their quest from British freedom. Throughout his life
Samuel Adams had great successes and even some failures, but it was always for the
greater good of the people and for the nation.
