The sons of liberty was a group of american patriots. The group was designed to do a change in the British government's treatment of the Colonies. At the conclusion of the French and Indian War the British Empire found themselves in a mess.It saw the North American colonies as a resource they could exploit to try to get back all that they had lost. After this new acts were created like the stamp act of 1765, the colonists were really mad because of this acts, Boston was one of the cities that could barely pay anything to the crown because they had not enough money. North American colonists from Savannah to Halifax resisted the Stamp Act in 1765, through legislative resolutions. This groups were identifying themselves as the sons of liberty this was in almost every colony. In august 1765 celebrated the founding of the group in Bston. In November 6, a committee was placed in New York to interact with other colonies. The leaders of the sons of liberty were mostly of the middle class.They were speaking out against the actions of the British government, they claimed to be loyal to the Crown. Their goal was to make sure their rights as Englishmen. Throughout the Stamp Act Crisis, the Sons of Liberty professed continued loyalty to the King because they maintained a "fundamental confidence" in the expectation that Parliament would do the right thing and repeal the tax.
