Sons of Liberty

In 1765 a group of shoemakers and artisans called the Loyal Nine made a group to be against the stamp act. As the group grew dramatically they began to be known as the sons of liberty. the member were actually not important people but workers and tradesmen. one of the first acts they were known for was when a stamp distributor was found hanging from a tree with a devil coming from a large boot. by the end of the year the sons of liberty were in every colony and one of the most common things to do was to force stamp distributors to resign. In the early months of 1766 the amount of chaos have become so bad that many royal governors went into hiding. Soon the sons of the colonies came together to form an even bigger organization.
