John Hancock

Significance
When Hancock's ship, The Liberty, was seized by the British for smuggling, he gave a furious speech in Boston, which fueled the colonists' anger and encouraging them to revolt. He directed the boycott of British tea, which ultimately lead to the Boston Tea Party. He had many powerful positions, including in the Second Continental Congress and the Provincial Congress. Because of this, he had a lot of influence in Massachusetts, and became a threat to Britain. He's also well known for his large signature on the Declaration of Independence.
