Answer:
John Paul Jones (born John Paul; July 6, 1747 – July 18, 1792) was the United States' first well-known naval commander in the American Revolutionary War. He made many friends[1] and enemies—who accused him of piracy—among America's political elites, and his actions in British waters during the Revolution earned him an international reputation which persists to this day. As such, he is sometimes referred to as the "Father of the American Navy" (a sobriquet he shares with John Barry and John Adams[2]).
Jones was born and grew up in Scotland, became a sailor, and served as commander of several British merchant ships. After having killed one of his crew members with a sword, he fled to the Colony of Virginia and around 1775 joined the newly founded Continental Navy in their fight against Britain in the American Revolutionary War. He commanded U.S. Navy ships stationed in France and led one single assault on England, which resulted in a failure, and few on British merchant ships. Left without a command in 1787, he joined the Imperial Russian Navy and obtained the rank of rear admiral.Explanation:

John Hancock and Samuel Adams took the colonists to participate in the Revolutionary movement against the aggressions and injustices of the English crown. However, they had different approaches. Samuel Adams was a propagandist and liked to organize riots, mob acts to show colonists opposition to the English king.
On the other hand, John Hanc*ck was more of a diplomat, as the businessman he was.
Both Patriots had to hide for a while in Lexington because the British troops were after them due to their insurrection activities. Indeed, the English wanted to hang Adams and Hancock as traitors.
