         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>John Adams<br></em></strong><strong>Boston Massacre:</strong> He defended British soldiers because they were just reacting in self defense, like anyone would. He thought law was on his side. He thought they should be civilized and not charge the solders for their actions. He was a lawyer, so he was good at defending them and they were proved innocent.<br><strong>Boston Tea Party: </strong>He was out of town on this night, but when he got back he was both shocked and pleased. He supported the soldiers in their actions but was curious how Britain would react.<strong><br>The Continental Congress: </strong>He served from 1774-1777. He was very involved. He convinced the others to write a document stating independence. He volunteered to write it, but they concluded that it would be best if he did not write it because of his obnoxiousness and current standing in the nation. Instead, he served on the committee.<strong><br>Common Sense:&nbsp;</strong>He appreciated Thomas Paine writing this piece but there were parts that he disagreed with. He did not like how democratic it was but he was glad someone agreed with him on writing a document of independence.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>John Adams</em><br><strong>Boston Massacre: </strong>John Adams defended the British soldiers after they had fired at citizens during the massacre because he was a firm believer in upholding the law and defending the innocent, and in his eyes the British soldiers were only defending themselves.<br><strong>Boston Tea Party:</strong> John Adams was not in town the night of December 16, 1773, and when he returned the next morning he was shocked that the patriots had taken such courageous measures. That being said, he was pleasantly surprised while anxious of events to come. He was concerned by what actions parliament may take after such disrespect.<br><strong>The Continental Congress: </strong>John Adams was a representative for Massachusetts Bay in the Congress, he recognized that there were two groups with the congress: radicals and conservatives. He tried to persuade the congress as a whole to vote for independence.<br><strong>Common Sense: </strong>John Adams believed that Thomas Paine's pamphlet was worthless, and that it was only reiterating what Adams had been arguing in Congress for months. It aggravated Adams, and while he believed that Paine was a notable writer, he believed that this particular writing was useless.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Adams made the defense for the British soldiers that had killed the colonists in the Boston Massacre, ending up getting them a verdict of not guilty, which made him rather unpopular.&nbsp;<br>2.

He agreed with the general idea of the pamphlet, but he also felt threatened by it, and called it short-sighted, among other things.</div>]]></description>
