The Land Bank Debacle

Founded friends, meet Deacon Adams (Samuel Adams Sr): Boston’s most frugal man with the loosest purse strings. Picture it: Massachusetts is broke, paper money is flowing like ale at a tavern, and someone says, “Hey, let’s back currency with land instead of gold!” Enter the first Samuel Adams; he hops aboard the Land Bank scheme, believing it’s a righteous cause for struggling farmers and merchants. We’ll also discuss when Boston said, “No thanks, Royal Navy,” and turned the harbor into a hullabaloo. Get ready for what would have happened if Beyoncé cancelled a concert in 1747, it’s the Knowles Riot! We want to hear from you!
