Adams intends only to underscore the outrage of placing British soldiers on American streets.
His words spread like lightning through the colonies.
Some of Boston's tales travel all the way to London.
Benjamin Franklin can barely believe how things have developed in just the last five years.
To many Americans, Franklin seems like the colony's best hope of making the British see sense.
Already an agent for Pennsylvania, in 1768, Georgia recruits him to represent them in London, too.
New Jersey and Massachusetts follow soon after.
Franklin himself, however, is unsure of where things are heading.
In early 1769, he confides to a friend that things daily wear a worse aspect and tend more to a breach and final separation.
Meanwhile, with his pen, Samuel Adams keeps alive the spirit and the language of protest.
The word patriot becomes loaded.
Many use it now to describe those who pick a fight with Parliament, not those who celebrate the empire.
But Boston is a city where individual thought is prized.
When it comes to relations with Britain, there's plenty of disagreement.

Yet the longer the British Redcoats roamed the streets of Boston, the less patience there is with the boycott holdouts.

Protests form outside the homes of local merchants who continue to import British goods.
Windows are smashed, walls caked in manure.
On February the 22nd, a group of boys and young men arrive outside a merchant's shop.
