From 1737 to 1793, John Hancock made a great impact throughout his life. John's father died when he was only seven years old, so his uncle took him in. He went to college at Harvard and graduated at 17 years old. Although, John graduated from Boston Latin School (a college) before that. He was one of most wealthy men before the American Revolution. Along with being a Patriot for the American Revolution, John also was a merchant, smuggler, and statesman. Hancock mainly worked as a merchant before he went to college. He would never know that he would help start the American Revolution.
Hancock then won two consecutive political positions and got into politics. John did this when colonists became more angry with the British taxes.
