The letter signed by Samuel Adams caused very negative reactions in the British, which increased tensions between the British Parliament and Massachusetts, who not to give up what the letter said, led the British Empire to decide the occupation of the city of Boston by the British Army. This fact, in turn, and given the repressive forms of reaction of the British, was a fact that rushed and provoked the American Revolution. It should be noted that in the letter, it was expressed at the end that the settlers were still subjects of His Majesty and that only expressed with anguish their problems.

Answer:
Pericles was a prominent and influential Greek statesman, orator and general of Athens during its golden age – specifically the time between the Persian and Peloponnesian wars. He was descended, through his mother, from the powerful and historically influential Alcmaeonid family. Pericles had such a profound influence on Athenian society that Thucydides, a contemporary historian, acclaimed him as "the first citizen of Athens". Pericles turned the Delian League into an Athenian empire, and led his countrymen during the first two years of the Peloponnesian War. The period during which he led Athens, roughly from 461 to 429 BC, is sometimes known as the "Age of Pericles", though the period thus denoted can include times as early as the Persian Wars, or as late as the next century.
