On today’s episode of Founded we’re finding out about the beginning of the military occupation of Boston. Samuel Adams crafted the circular letter on behalf of Massachusetts about the Townshend Acts and it caused big problems, especially for Boston.

The sons of liberty got back to their shenanigans and the sheriff was held hostage over a previously vacant building, and things will only escalate from here, subtle foreshadowing.
