Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Discussion 1:
Sons of Liberty
The Sons of Liberty staged acts of resistance against the British government and agitated for revolution. Their tactics at times have led some to categorize them as a terrorist group. After reviewing the textbook and sources on the Sons of Liberty, the writings of Samuel Adams, and given what was taking place at the time (the Stamp Act, Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, etc.), do you believe that they were a terrorist group or freedom fighters? Please explain why or why not. Do you think their tactics were justified at the time?
