What did main events did Samuel Adams have to do with prior to, during, and after the American Revolution

I read a book by William Fowler, "Samuel Adams: Radical Puritan," I am supposed to write about how William Fowler used Samuel Adams to identify a number of themes prior to, during and after the American Revolution. I also need to know what those themes and and concepts considered, what the generalizations about the American Colonial and National society considered and some examples.
