John Hancock and Samuel Adams were involved in the smuggling of goods, primarily around Boston, Massachusetts, during the pre-Revolutionary War period. Hancock, a wealthy merchant, was known for his involvement in the illegal importation of goods to evade British taxes. They often operated in areas like the Boston Harbor, where British customs enforcement was weak, allowing them to transport smuggled goods without detection. Their actions contributed to the growing tensions between the American colonists and British authorities.
