About this episode
If George Washington was the sword of the American Revolution, John Adams was its voice. A brilliant, irascible lawyer from Massachusetts, Adams first gained fame for a singular act of integrity: defending the British soldiers accused of the Boston Massacre because he believed every man deserved a fair trial. In the Continental Congress, he was the "Atlas of Independence," relentlessly whipping votes for separation from Britain and hand-picking Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration.
