"Sons of Liberty"

As the Parliament started to impose new taxes to the colonies as The Stamp Act groups in the colonies started too emerged to go against them. The biggest enemies were a group called the “Sons of Liberty”. This was a group of men that work together and opposed to all the duty taxes that came from the Parliament.  The first groups emerged in Boston after the Stamp Act in 1765. The movement of the “Sons of Liberty” in Massachusetts was created by Samuel Adams. By the end of this year these groups were all spread along the colonies.

The main objectives of the “Sons of Liberty” was to throughout the Stamp Collectors taxes from the colonies and also to make every merchant apply the non-importation agreement. These groups got very violent when they were against the Stamp Act. Sometimes it went out of control and the protest did thing that the Sons had not approved. These groups were leaded and formed in secret. The achievement of the abolition of the Stamp Act was that many members of the “Sons of Liberty” were printers and publisher, and this was the key of their win. It was not the violent protests.  One protest was when they empty three ships that contained 342 chests of tea in Boston Harbor.  These continue until they eventually got to the independence and achieve their goals.
