Which revolutionary leader organized the Boston Tea Party and was a prominent member of the Sons of Liberty?

• A. John Adams
• B. Abigail Adams
• C. Samuel Adams
• D. Crispus Attucks

Answer: (C)

Samuel Adams was a Massachusetts leader who helped found the Sons of Liberty and organized actions against British taxation. He played a central role in planning and rallying support for the Boston Tea Party in 1773, coordinating with other patriots to protest the Tea Act. That leadership and direct involvement in the Tea Party make him the best fit. John Adams was a prominent patriot who later became President, but he wasn’t the organizer of the Tea Party; Abigail Adams was his wife; Crispus Attucks was a participant in the Boston Massacre, not a Tea Party organizer.
