Sons of Liberty

The Sons of Liberty was a group formed in the American colonies in the mid-18th century to oppose British taxation and policies. Established around 1765, they played a key role in protests against unfair taxes, especially the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, symbolizing colonists' resistance to British control. The group used tactics like public demonstrations, pamphlets, and sometimes violence to rally support against British rule. Their actions helped unite the colonies and laid the groundwork for the American Revolution, ultimately contributing to the fight for independence from Britain.
