Encyclopedia Britannica



WARREN, JOSEPH (17411775)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 330 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WARREN, JOSEPH (17411775) , American politician, was born at Roxbury, Massachusetts, on the 11th of June 1741. He graduated from Harvard College in 1759, taught in a school at Roxbury in 176o1761, studied medicine, and began to practise in Boston in 1764. The Stamp Act agitation aroused his
interest
  in public questions. He soon became associated with Samuel Adams, John Adams and Josiah Quincy, Jr., as a leader of the popular party, and contributed articles and letters to the Boston
Gazette
  over the signature " True Patriot." The efforts of Samuel Adams to secure the appointment of committees of correspondence met with his hearty support, and he and Adams were the two leading members of the first Boston committee of correspondence, chosen in 1772. As chairman of a committee appointed for the purpose, he drafted the famous " Suffolk Resolves," which were unanimously adopted by a convention at Milton (q.v.) on the 9th of September 1774. These " resolves " urged.forcible opposition to
Great
  Britain if it should prove to be necessary, pledged submission to such
measures
  as 1 he Continental Congress might recommend, and favoured the calling of a provincial congress. Warren was a member of the first three provincial congresses (17741775), president of the third, and an active member of the committee of public 'safety. He took an active part in the fighting on the 19th of April, was appointed major-general of the Massachusetts troops, next in rank to Artemas Ward, on the 14th of June1775; and three days later, before his commission was made out, he took part as a volunteer, under the orders of
Putnam
  and
Prescott
 , in the battle of Bunker Hill (Breed's Hill), where he was killed. Next to the Adamses, Warren was the most influential leader of the extreme Whig
faction
  in Massachusetts. His tragic death strengthened their zeal for the popular cause and helped to prepare the way for the acceptance of the Declaration of Independence. Warren's speeches are typical examples of the old style of American political eloquence. His best-known orations were those delivered in Old
South
  Church on the second and fifth anniversaries (1772 and 1775) of the " Boston Massacre."
The standard biography is Richard
Frothingham
 's Life and Times of Joseph Warren (Boston, 1865).
