Best Answer

The Sons of Liberty were a pre-revolutionary secret organization that were opposed to British's rule over the original 13 colonies. Groups under the name of The Sons of Liberty existed in every colony and worked to undermine British power in the area. They helped repeal the stamp act, and did so through various forms of violence, threats, and demonstrations.

In addition, the group also help enforce an almost complete boycott on British goods following the passing of the Townshed Act. The Sons of Liberty often erected "liberty poles" in order to public show their anti-British feelings. They are also held responsible for the burning of the British Ship, the HMS Gaspee, and for the famous Boston Tea Party. The Sons of Liberty were also accused of the tarring and feathering of people loyal to the British Crown. Once the American Revolution began, the Sons of Liberty were largely disbanded or formed into other groups actively involved in fighting the British.

The Sons of Liberty organized themselves to act against the tyranny of the British government. They are perhaps best known for their hand in the Boston Tea Party, when crates of tea were dumped into Boston harbor as a rebellion to imposing tea taxes.

The Sons of Liberty wanted the Stamp, Sugar, and Tea Acts repealed and they wanted a voice in the passage of any future such taxes by Parliament. Basically they wanted a greater say in their own government.
