The Sons of Liberty was established when the British wanted to put a tax on tea. The colonists reacted to this by creating The Sons of Liberty which Sam Adams was the leader He and other colonists made a plan to dump all tea into the Boston harbor. The reason for the dumping of the tea in the harbor is because the British was putting a tax on tea and you can't have "taxation without representation". The British had no representatives to the reason why they were putting a tax on the tea. Although we know why.
