- History
This week we continue to talk about espionage in the Revolutionary War. Some of the major players, on the domestic espionage front, were associated with a little group called the Sons of Liberty. Samuel Adams (not the beer) was one of the groups major players in this group; however, he did not found it, contrary to popular belief. We also have a discussion about a guy named John Jay… He basically tried to make figuring out who was an enemy spy and who wasn’t a standard process. Up until Jay, it was a complete which hunt; people would basically say whoever they didn’t like was a spy.
