Yes, John Hancock was a smuggler. During the period that preceded the American Revolution, various taxes had been imposed on goods entering the colonies. Hancock was one of many New England merchants who avoided paying the taxes by smuggling the goods in. As he was the richest man in New England, and owner of a shipbuilding concern, he quickly became the busiest smuggler in the area. The revenue from his smuggling operations then was funneled into revolutionary causes. Think of Hancock as the Joe Kennedy of the Revolutionary Era.
