In 1818 John Adams said that “the awakening that led to the American Revolution was sparked in part by Oxenbridge Thacher.” Thacher was an early Patriot from Massachusetts who was among the first to oppose taxation without representation. He died at the outset of the Stamp Act (1765), and his name has been omitted from history chronicles on the American Revolution.
