Sons of Liberty

In 1765 at Boston a group called Loyal Nine which consisted of artisans and shopkeepers began to prepare a rebellion against the British Government, later the group was growing and later they were known as The Sons Of Liberty. They were not leading men, instead they were tradesmen and workers. This group was formed to take the streets against the taxes levied by the Parliament and to defend the colonist rights.

They are known for the rebellion they set against the Boston Tea Party in 1773, which then led to the Intolerable Acts which was an intense crackdown by the British Government. The leader of this organization was Samuel Adams an American statesman and he was cousin of John Adams who later became the president of the United States. The group's motto was "No taxation without representation".

This made the people who claimed taxes afraid of claiming the taxes to the colonists, because they used methods against them, like the tarring and feathering which consisted of hot tar placed in their bodies and then they apply feathers, so they were humiliated in front of other people and it was painful also.
