Hailing from the same state as Adams and Hancock doesn't help to get you noticed, or so it appears with these two Signers important in their time but less known now. One became a Federalist, the other a Republican, but they both were signers working on the same cause in 1776. We wrap up the Massachusetts signers with these two important, if upstaged, figures for the cause. One found his calling in the letters but would lose a key case to another signer, the other would end up being best known for an unpopular but effective political tactic still used and named for him today.
