His role in the origins of the American War of Independence cannot be understated.

Detailed explanation-2: -Despite very little documentary evidence as to the origins of the organization, Boston Patriot Samuel Adams is often credited as being the founder and leader of the Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty was most likely organized in the summer of 1765 as a means to protest the passing of the Stamp Act of 1765.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adams wrote anonymous newspaper stories and propaganda pieces during the Stamp Act era to advance the patriots’ cause; his cousin Samuel was a more public figure in the protests against the British. But eventually John Adams made a passionate address about the right to taxation with representation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.
