31. The Sons Of Liberty Started Before The American Revolution
The Sons of Liberty was one of the most prominent revolutionary groups that started before the main dates of the American Revolution. The founders, Samuel Adams and John Hancock, became enraged at how the British treated the American colonists and needed to make changes.
Starting in Philadelphia, the men secretly joined forces and invited other men to join. They started spreading the word through well-known elite males interested in politics. From there, the Sons of Liberty grew into all 13 colonies, and any male joined the cause. However, the most active males remained landholding men.
