11. Isaac Sears Became Known As King Sears
Like many other people who joined the Sons of Liberty, Isaac Sears was a regular colonist who stuck to his own businesses until the British government started to get involved in his company. Once Sears got involved, people called him “King Sears” because he organized the New York mob and became a leading member of the Sons of Liberty.
Sears became one of the Sons of Liberty members that followed the violent path. In fact, he believed that violence was the best way, especially after the Intolerable Acts. Sears warned people about action coming to anyone who supported the acts.
