==== The Sons of Liberty was a political group that was created by patriotic Americans in the pre-independence North American Colonies. The group was created to change the way the British government treated the colonies after the French and Indian War. The group was first created at the end of The French and Indian War and at the beginning of the Stamp Act. When the British wanted to tax the colonist and everyone else to pay a tax on all legal documents, shipping packages, and even playing cards were taxed. Britain found itself in debt and to recover from the losses of the war they wanted to pass this tax. But the colonists were also recovering from a devastating fire. If the colonists had to work to get their city rebuilt and pay the tax of that Britain wanted to pass they will not be sending the idea that Britain wanted to create in the first place, the idea was that American Colonies were a land of opportunity and if the colonists had to work to build their city and pay taxes then there will not be enough money left for them to live the life they should be living. ====

==== Although the Sons of Liberty disagreed with the British government, they still remained loyal to the crown, which shows that the Sons of Liberty were not a group that was trying to get their voices heard no matter what class you belonged to. The sons of Liberty slowly grew and became popular around all of the colonies and there was not a colony that did not have a group named The Sons of Liberty. Unfortunately, not all of the works of the Sons of Liberty were non-violent. Masses turned brutal and fatal. Sons of liberty have used violence to have ax collectors resign to them but they only used violence to get the British government’s attention, not to torture people or out of fun. ====

==== As mentioned in the paragraph above The Sons of Liberty were loyal to the king although they didn’t agree with his decision, and remained with hope and confidence that the British government will make the right choice and repeal the tax. This Just shows further more that the colonists are actually proud to be British and are willing to follow the laws of Britain as long as the laws are for the benefits of everyone and the colonists’ voices are heard by the British Government. ====
