Founded in Boston in 1765, the Sons of Liberty were a revolutionary organization opposing the new British taxes and regulations and promoting the rights of the American colonists under a simple slogan: "no taxation without representation". Including prominent figures such as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams, the Sons were famous for their radical and highly publicized actions including the Boston Tea Party. Contrary to common beliefs, it was never a well-organized secret society but more of a loose umbrella organization for any person determined to fight the pressure of the Crown. The term was later used during the American Revolution for different groups of Patriots.
