The Sons of Liberty were a patriot group that opposed British rule in Colonial America. When they knew about the approval of the Stamp Act they started to organize and hang a series of effigies that represented British officers. They also intimidated officers and stamp distributors by forcing them to resign. They also created the motto “no taxation without representation”.

The Sons of Liberty was most likely organized in the summer of 1765 as a means to protest the passing of the Stamp Act of 1765. Their motto was, “No taxation without representation.” He was reprimanded for positively speaking in favor of them calling the colonists “these Sons of Liberty.”
