USA is 250 years old. It’s a great time to remember the heroes of the American Revolution.

The Sons of Liberty was a secret society whose aim was to spread American Revolution fervor and to fight unjust laws imposed by the British. It started in Boston. Paul Revere is believed to be the leader. But it spread! Using resistance, defiance, and sometimes violence, the Sons of Liberty impacted the colonies and won colonists to the Patriot Cause. Many of the Sons of Liberty attended the First and Second Continental Congresses, working for freedom that way, too.
