I see you've taken part in the 1619 Project lie fest. Complete and dishonest revision of American history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hancock

Before the American Revolution, Hancock was one of the wealthiest men in the Thirteen Colonies, having inherited a profitable mercantile business from his uncle. He began his political career in Boston as a protégé of Samuel Adams, an influential local politician, though the two men later became estranged. Hancock used his wealth to support the colonial cause as tensions increased between colonists and Great Britain in the 1760s. He became very popular in Massachusetts, especially after British officials seized his sloop Liberty in 1768 and charged him with smuggling. Those charges were eventually dropped; he has often been described as a smuggler in historical accounts, but the accuracy of this characterization has been questioned.

Obviously you're a product of  blue state propaganda and social promotion centers, (sometimes known as public schools.)

Using Wikipedia as a source would get you an F in any class in a normal school.  But I suppose F is for Florida, so par for the course for you. 
 

I know a lot about John Hancock.  Do you? How about if you try to show off a little brain? Simple question: Since he was already one of the wealthiest men in all of America, why did John Hancock work to overthrow British rule? Cite two sources.

That's not fair. Apparently Florida has the best schools, so it is clear our friend did not get his education in Florida. Maybe he is a product of the New York education system

You failed to mention he was a deadbeat who welshed on a hundred thousand pound debt. The tensions with Great Britain were with only a minority of colonists. They didn't like the taxes levied to pay for a war with Quebec that benefited them greatly and that was started by a colonist named George Washington. A large number of Conservative Americans also fought in that war. "They gave up everything, save honour." There were tens of thousands of them fighting for their country and their King.

I've never been in a blue state, and never looked at your 1619 project. The only thing I have to do with 1619 is that is the approximate date when my family moved to America.

I failed to mention the deadbeat thing because it is a lie.

I don't know why you refer to Loyalists as conservatives. I think the term Tory might apply better, but not "conservative."

I started to suggest that America was created in 1776, but in all accuracy that would be the United States of America. Still, before that period people referred to this rock as the "New World." Most of our land was territory for Europe.

The 1619 Project (along with Critical Race Theory) is a massive and despicable LIE about the formation of America. RACISTS suggest the only reason for the American Revolution was to perpetuate slavery. (Yeah, I know. REALLY stupid, racist, and ignorant.)

Considering that Florida public schools are the top in the country (and you can shove your left wing LIE based lists up that communist ass), and considering that you wouldn't get through a Florida THIRD GRADE year, (not with your stupidity and laziness) I'll take that LIE with the grain of salt it doesn't even deserve. If you wish to document ANY public school designating Wikipedia as either a legitimate source or an illegitimate source, I'll wait for proof. Certainly you managed to learn about that before you dropped out of the third grade.

Since you ask for a source, I can accommodate you. (Show you how educated people do things.)\

In 1765, John Hancock entered local politics when he was elected a Boston selectman. The following year, he won election to the Massachusetts colonial legislature. Around this same time, the British Parliament began imposing a series of regulatory measures, including tax laws, to gain further control over its 13 American colonies. The colonists opposed these measures, particularly the tax laws, arguing that only their own representative assemblies impose tax them. Over the next decade, anti-British sentiment among the colonists intensified and eventually led to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783).

https://www.biography.com/political-figure/john-hancock

Hancock — who reputedly maintained a lavish lifestyle and often faced staunch criticism for his exorbitance — would become a major figure in the American Revolution. In the mid-1760s, he won two consecutive political positions, first managing affairs on a local level in Boston and then moving to the colonial legislature. He entered politics at a time when American colonialists were becoming increasingly agitated by British parliamentary tax regulations and restrictions, with Hancock becoming inextricably involved due to his importing-exporting affairs.

Other sources claim he was only accused of smuggling. But you asked why this wealth man worked to overthrow British rule.

As far as the smuggling thing, another source isn't quite so adamant on that subject.

3. Hancock should have been a Loyalist, but he wasn’t. With his wealth and social standing, Hancock should have been a leading member of an elite group that didn’t want independence. Instead, he sympathized with people like John and Samuel Adams, who were patriots.

4. John Hancock, smuggler? Well, he may have been an importer, too, but goods like tea that arrived in New England on Hancock’s ships may have escaped paying a duty. The suspicions led the British to seize Hancock’s ship, Liberty, which started a riot. John Adams got Hancock off the hook from the smuggling charges.

5. Hancock also had a role in the Boston Tea Party incident. While Hancock wasn’t on a ship tossing tea overboard, he was at meetings when outrage was vented at the British. He riled up the crowd with a famous statement: “Let every man do what is right in his own eyes.”

Is it possible for a standing police force to deliberately target an innocent man? You people seem to think police shoot and kill innocent blacks every day, and that the prisons are full of innocent blacks who were just scooped up off the streets and arrested.

There might be something to that. Just because I'm smarter than ALL the liberals here combined doesn't necessarily mean I'm that brilliant. I'm pretty sure, however, that I'm not a product of the New York education system.

Conservative and Tory are two names for the same party. Prime Ministers Cameron, May, Johnson and Sunak and Diefenbaker Clark and Mulroney are all Conservatives and also called Tories. The tens of thousands of American Conservatives who fought for their King and Country were Conservatives and also called Tories. Don't they teach American history in your state?

No, they were asking for a presidency not earned, while "peacefully" smashing both people and property on their way to peacefully "hang Mike Pence."

Grade: F. You only copy and pasted, didn’t include a single word of original thought, and you didn’t answer the question.
 

But why did this wealthy man do this?

His signature on the Declaration of Independence was so large that it became synonymous with “signature”. This guaranteed that if the war was lost, he would be hanged. So why did he sign the Declaration?

You didn't graduate the third grade, so you are not qualified to hand out grades. I included PLENTY of words of original thought, and I backed them up with facts and quotes from reliable sources, (something your ignorant dumb ass has yet to do since I've been here.)

Yes. President Biden received 306 votes in the Electoral College to President Trump's 232 votes. Since there was no credible evidence tested in court of any anomalies, the fact is settled that Mr. Biden is legitimately the President of the United States of America. He earned it.

Don't deny the Florida man reputation. Why are you denying such things.

Here is the standing for states when it comes to public schools, another thing you are denying. Florida is not even in the top 10. 

1. Massachusetts
