	In 1765, the British Government passed a series of acts to tax the colonists. One of them was the Stamp Act, which obliged all the colonists to purchase a government stamp for every legal paper. Many Bostonians protested against this Act under the [[Liberty Tree]] in August 1765. Some of them, like the politician and Assassins' ally [[Samuel Adams]] or the Templar [[Benjamin Church]] formed the [[Sons of Liberty]], a group through the colonies that decided to protest against British taxation and to fight for the rights of the colonists. The Sons of Liberty led a mob that ransacked and burned the mansion of the Governor of [[Massachusetts]] [[Thomas Hutchinson]]. Even if the Stamp Act was repelled, other Acts passed to tax American colonists. In 1768, the ''Liberty'', a sloop owned by the merchant [[John Hancock]] was seized by the British for smuggling. A year later, the [[Patriots]] burned the ''HMS Liberty'', which was one of the first acts of open defiance against the British crown.<ref name="AC3"/>		In 1765, the British Government passed a series of acts to tax the colonists.
