aug 14, 1765 - Formation of The Sons of Liberty

Description:

The Sons of Liberty were a group of male Patriots looking to cause some trouble for the Britain crown. They were made to protest Britain's different forms of taxations and all Britains different acts. The Sons of Liberty were a powerful image for the colonists and they spread a sense of rebellion within the colonies.
"The Sons of Liberty, a well-organized Patriot paramilitary political organization shrouded in secrecy, was established to undermine British rule in colonial America and was influential in organizing and carrying out the Boston Tea Party."
