Overview
A chronicle of the Adams, Quincy and Hancock families and how they helped spark the American Revolution.
Braintree, Massachusetts is not a town people think of when they think of the American Revolution, but Nina Sankovitch’s American Rebels takes a look at this small village and shows how important it was by looking at three influential families who originated there: the Quincys, the Adams, and the Hancocks. Sankovitch focuses on the rising stars of these families, Josiah Quincy, John Adams, John Hancock and their wives, Dorothy Quincy and Abigail Adams. American Rebels begins in 1768 as tensions rise in Boston with the installation of British troops and boil over at the Boston Massacre in 1770. With this, Adams, Quincy and Hancock begin to collaborate on combating British mistreatment of the colonists. Many of the meetings of these three men are held in Braintree at the Quincy homestead with people like Samuel Adams and Ben Franklin in attendance. American Rebels follows the stories of the three families as they intertwine through the siege of Boston, the formation of the Committee of Correspondence, the Boston Tea Party, the First and Second Continental Congresses, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and, finally, the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence. Nina Sankovitch’s American Rebels is a fresh history of our revolution that gives readers a new Massachusetts crucible of revolution to think about when they consider the story of America’s early years.
