There is little to indicate that Samuel Adams hated his cousin. They fought for the same side. Samuel was given to action while John emphasized words and laws. Samuel seems to have had some role in the Boston Tea Party, though that is not clear. Samuel favored attacks on the British authorities long before John endorsed these actions.
