Boston, 1770. A frigid winter night. A British sentry strikes a local citizen. Civilians begins to gather. Reinforcements arrive to back up the young sentry. Insults and snowballs escalate. Then out of the darkness comes a shout: “FIRE!” bit.ly/EHPatreon

There were three categories of heroes in the trial. The defense attorney, John Adams, who was willing to risk destroying his reputation and legal practice to defend the soldiers and their right to a fair trial. The witnesses who had the courage in the face of public pressure from their fellow colonists to agree to testify and provide an honest account of the events which was exculpatory. The jurors who put their anger and prejudices aside to concede that the soldiers did not open fire with malicious, unprovoked intent to kill but merely panicked and acted in self-defense.

The same passions Adams took into that trial was the passions he took into crafting and protecting the American judiciary system. And it paid off for his descendents in spades Adams had one thing he wanted from the Constitutional Convention and that's Constitutional supremacy. I believe he authored the Supremacy Clause and if he didn't, he sure championed it. He fought tooth and nail to force other delegates to concede that the Constitution would be the supreme law of the land. Jefferson didn't like this because he was a believer in natural law, but once the Bill of Rights were ratified, Constitutional Supremacy made the Constitution the ultimate protector of American rights and ensured that that guarantee was the last word in law. In the end the dreamer Jefferson and the cynical Adams came together and crafted a mighty protection of human libety, the best ever seen to that date and still strong today.

In my US history class, we did a mock trial for Capt. Preston’s case. Me and one friend were John Adams and another two were Robert Pain. We won the case

The moral I take from this story is be true to your morals as John Adams did regardless of what others think or what the consequences may be. Who knows? They might elect you President someday

Britain: Ok so we spent tons of money protecting you and we’re out of money America: Ok Britain: so we should get some money back right America: seems reasonable Britain: so can we tax you for some money? America: *REVOLUTION* 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That tea was garbage. The East India company was the sole legal provider of tea to the American colonies. The tea that was not of good enough quality can be sold in Europe they forced on the colonies.

I absolutely love this Extra History videos. They are amazing and every time I see one that I haven't seen or is new I become so excited to learn about a topic that I had no clue existed or to learn more about a topic i thought i new all the details on. Keep up the amazing work.

You guys are one of my favorite channels, thanks you for your wonderful educational topics. You’re truly doing the world a service

This actually clears up a lot of questions I had since I was a child.

Most of the time when the Revolutionary War is taught, at least in my state, the Boston Massacre was glossed over. I think there was maybe one time where they mentioned that the soldiers were provoked

The first episode of HBO's "John Adams" series does a good treatment of this from his perspective.

As a patriotic American, I've done extensive research on our founding. This is a very accurate portrayal of events. The revolution was not the unshackling of a tyrannical empire as much as a PR problem that poured salt in American wounds. Well done!

Wait, so doesn't that mean it's actually called The Boston "Massacre"???

Wow! this is in-tea-resting.

Thank you guys so much for doing this topic!

I'm surprised you guys didn't wait a year for the 250th anniversary

“Colonist have lower tax than Britain” “Britain passed more taxes to the Colonist” That basically means the Colonist spending on taxes is no different than the British spending on their own taxes.

Y’all should check out the John Adams HBO mini-series, Paul Giamatti gives an outstanding performance of John Adams especially during the trial.

Oh the inaccuracies 4:52 yeah it was a club used by a man named Richard palms who was then shot when the soldier rose

I really loved the sound editing on this episode! Great job as always guys 👍

8:18 Mans really just said “Facts don’t care about your feelings”

John Adams is my ancestor, and my favorite founding father. He was always principled, to a fault.

I'm really digging this animation style. Great job to the artists!

I love how one series at a time extra history is slowly fleshing out the larger stories of some of these eras

2:31 woah

John Adams was an amazing person! And history only now seems to be realizing that!

And a future president.

Remember: the American Revolution was about more than just taxes. When the colonies were founded they were completely self-governing and received no support from Great Britain. They wrote their own laws, built their own militias, and even the colonial governors themselves weren't appointed by the king. They were simply private citizens who negotiated with the British government for land contracts in the New World. During the mid-eighteenth century these independent governors slowly started getting replaced by British bureaucrats, as the king either bought or forcibly seized entire colonies. Now, if you consider the fact that once the king took over these colonies he immediately used them as staging grounds for wars that HE started, and then forced the colonists to quarter HIS troops and pay for HIS war.... You might start to realize why, for many colonists, the British would've seemed like an invading foreign power.

A lot of what they do teach us is biased however. For instance, when the textbook referred to the American rebels, it referred to them as soldiers. However, when we it was time to learn about the Civil War, the South was ALWAYS referred to as rebels.

I would love to see a 7 years war series! Or a series on the revolution. It's fascinating from an outside perspective

I see that the illustrators for this episode have seen John Adams HBO miniseries

Very interesting video. Cant wait for more! Also, proposal for next video; Balkans (seriously, you gusy covered every inch of history across all inhabited continets, form Americas to Asia, to Australia and Africa, but you missed the Balkans?)

Thanks for the nice summing up of a complex series of events and highlighting a great hero: John Adams.

I was wondering when this channel was going to talk about the Revolution! What’s next? NAPOLEON!? I love this channel keep up the good work!!!

The way you start a story is so amazing!!!

this vid helped me with a slide show so much thank you so much!!!
