In one of my attempts to become ever more learned, I recently (as of two days ago) embarked on a quest of reading all the sparks notes available online. Where did I start? The first one - Samuel Adams.
I thought it would probably be rather boring to read, but I'm not even half way through, and I am already intrigued by this man who as his cousin John Adams would say that America would probably never have gained her independence if not for him.
I find it ironic that the man who graduated with a master degree from Harvard and virtually led the colonial rebellion against Britain not only was a failure at most occupations he undertook, but also he vehemently opposed the Constitution. I just scratch my head at that. How could the man who championed American freedom oppose the foremost document of American freedom? Is he just a good rabble-rouser with questionable intellect, or could he be more, a genius ahead of his century?
This whole matter will take much more research on my part.
