Detailed explanation-2: -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.”
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sons of Liberty was a loosely organized, clandestine, sometimes violent, political organization active in the Thirteen American Colonies founded to advance the rights of the colonists and to fight taxation by the British government.
Detailed explanation-4: -True or False: The Sons of Liberty never used violence to protect unfair taxes. False. They broke windows and personal items. What did the Stamp Act do that England did not expect?
