Dr. Joseph Warren: Prescription for Revolution

The First Time Boston Became An Occupied City

On today’s episode of Founded we find out more about the incredibly unhinged James Otis Jr and the way that Samuel Adams found his way to becoming the chief rabble rouser. The royal governor couldn’t call in troops without permission from the council, but turns out he didn’t need to because the crown itself decided to respond to the chaos unfolding in the town of Boston. There’s a whole lot of redcoats and a more tame rabble.

No Mobs, No Tumults, No Promises

On today’s episode of Founded we’re finding out about the drama in the Massachusetts General Court during the late 1760’s. The radical rabble rousers filled the assembly and made it their mission to make the crown officials lives harder, resulting in the lieutenant governor having a little bit of a mental breakdown. Then the news of the Townshend Acts arrived in Boston and things didn’t go as anyone expected. There’s drama, plotting, and an incredible amount of pettiness.  Click Here for Sources [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s3o01T_XQ9khrydvvjq5SjZORnjBcaTrAf9-8lDDAPI/edit?tab=t.9pe9c21m7o71] ⁠⁠Click Here for Merch⁠⁠ [https://foundedhistory-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/all] Find the video version of ⁠⁠Founded on Youtube⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNAJQyqhIl8gtP37Zq_mHbA] We want to hear from you!  What did you find interesting?

Radicals And Revenue Acts

On today’s episode of Founded we’re finding out about John Hancock and his rise to political power after the repeal of the Stamp Act. Samuel Adams was beginning to lose his footing as the leader of the rabble just as parliament was planning to pass more tax acts. These new acts were written by a man who has become known for his glossary term in textbooks, The Townshend Acts. Those acts were created by no other than Charles Townshend.

The Man Behind The Misquote: Paul Revere

On today’s episode of founded we’re finding out about Paul revere and who he was when he wasn’t riding a horse at midnight. In fact, we hardly even talk about that part of Paul’s life. As it turns out Paul Revere played a major role in the revolution but often his story is reduced to “guy on horse with lanterns who was also a silversmith”. Paul was way more than that though, he was also a dentist (and more).  Sources [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s3o01T_XQ9khrydvvjq5SjZORnjBcaTrAf9-8lDDAPI/edit?tab=t.k15s652qz07l] ⁠⁠Click Here for Merch⁠⁠ [https://foundedhistory-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/all] Find the video version of ⁠⁠Founded on Youtube⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNAJQyqhIl8gtP37Zq_mHbA] We want to hear from you!  What did you find interesting?
