James Otis (1725-1783)

You argue against the Writs of Assistance in the Old State House, inciting resistance to British rule.
You suggest that the freedoms of life, liberty and property should be extended to people of all races. These ideas were ahead of your time.
Your family is divided politically; your wife and daughter are Loyalists, your son and other daughter are Patriots.
Embarrassing outbursts caused by your mental instability make you increasingly unfit for a public role.
You are killed by a bolt of lightning.
