<p>This collection depicts the organization created in the 13 colonies known as the Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty were a society that was established  in opposition of the Stamp Act in 1765. They also defended colonial rights through radical means. I believe the Sons of Liberty were very influential and is still influential in Present Day. This is because the Sons of Liberty were one of the first organizations to stand up against oppression from the British at the time. They impacted the revolution and brought attention to the unjust billing from the British with their slogan.
