A recent NPR podcast claimed that Samuel Adams was a conspiracy theorist who thought that the British empire wanted to enslave the colonists. Is this true? What kind of slavery was he thinking of, and did it differ from chattel slavery of African people?
Post Body
As a follow up, I know that there were free black people, and that it's likely some identified with the Patriot's cause. Did this rhetoric about British-empire-conspiring-to-enslave-colonists ring more true to these people, or did it just turn them off from the increasing radicalism of white colonists?
