14. Joseph Warren Joined The Sons Of Liberty And Warned People Of Incoming Arrests
Born in 1741, Joseph Warren quickly became interested in the Sons of Liberty organization as soon as he heard about them. Warren held radical ideas for his time that matched many of the ideas from other Sons of Liberty members. Not only did Warren became a Revolutionary War General, but he also held the title of President of the Massachusetts Revolutionary Congress.
While Warren is well-known because of John Trumbull’s painting “The Death of General Warren,” he also notified Samuel Adams and John Hancock of their impending arrest and militias of incoming British troops.
