What was the goal of sam Adam and the group called the sons fof liberty?
The initial goal of Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty was to protect the rights of the colonists against the overreaches of the British government. The organization evolved into an important component of the American Revolutionary War.
What other techniques were used to achieve the same goal in the Stamp act?
The American colonists used several means of protest to let the British Parliament and King know that they did not believe that the Parliament had the power to regulate internal trade or set laws dealing with the internal domestic affairs of the colonies. The colonists did not elect a representative to Parliament, thus Parliament did not really represent the colonies."No taxation without representation." Boycotting British goods was one of the most effective means of protest. The first protest started over the passage of the Sugar Act of 1764. The Boston town meeting declared that the city would not import any British goods until Parliament repealed the tax. The Stamp Act Congress represented nine of the colonies and the delegates, while proclaiming their loyalty to the King, again denounced the actions of Parliament because of no representative in that body to speak for the colonies. Boycotting of goods was again used to hurt the profits of the merchants in England who would then, hopefully, put pressure on Parliament to repeal the tax. The colonists also used some "not-so-legal" means of protesting. Tax collectors were tarred and feathered and sent out of town riding a log. Some private property was destroyed, as seen in the Boston Tea Party. Letters were written to the King and Parliament expressing the views of the colonies. Ben Franklin and other notables tried to convince Parliament that they were only causing the colonists to use more efforts of resistance that might lead to a call for independence. Committees were established in many colonies to keep the other colonies informed of activities, and this served as one means of communication to keep the colonies united in their protests against the Crown and Parliament.
