The Sons of Liberty was a loosely organized, clandestine, sometimes violent, political organization active in the Thirteen American Colonies founded to defend the rights of the colonists, including the right to representation in the British government trying to tax them. It played a major role in most colonies in battling the Stamp Act in 1765 and throughout most of the American Revolution (1765–1783).
