S6E11 - William Cooper and Samuel Cooper of Brattle Street Church (Black-Robed Regiment Series)

About this episode

This episode explores the contributions of William and Samuel Cooper of Brattle Street Church to the moral defense of American independence.

In this week's episode, I continue looking at the pastors known as the Black-Robed Regiment who, through their teaching and preaching, helped solidify and give a moral defense of the Declaration of Independence and American War for Independence. Today I consider both William Cooper and his son, Samuel Cooper. Both men served as pastor of Brattle Street Church, an influential church in Boston whose congregants included John Hancock, John Adams, and Samuel Adams.
