Jane Mecom: Franklin’s Struggling Sister

Through correspondence with her famous brother, Benjamin Franklin, we

will learn how Jane became politically active.

He started as a fireman and went on to become a shoemaker, a leader in the rebellion against the Stamp Act and a member of the Sons of Liberty.

The Occupation of Boston

The British military occupation of Boston

in 1768 caused a furor between the colonists and the British army.

July 22

Crispus Attucks: The Massacre’s Martyr

In March 1770, five colonists were killed by British soldiers. The fallout from this event led to the trial of perpetrators. At this time, a mixed-race sailor, Crispus Attucks, became an icon of African American patriotism.

Sailors, Shoemakers, Crowds and Class

We will learn about the class system at this time in our history. Political actions differed between the artisan class and the elites.

Here is another shoemaker who was at the Boston Massacre and played a key role in the Boston Tea Party. He remained active in the fight for independence into his 90s.

Forging a Common Cause in the Colonies
