Book Synopsis United in Cause by : Don Nardo
Book excerpt: In the 1760s, British colonists in North America grew increasingly angry about taxes they felt were unfair. The Sons of Liberty was the result of this anger. The group's motto was No taxation without representation. Starting with just a handful of members, the group soon grew to more than 2,000. The Sons of Liberty organized protests as well as boycotts against taxed products with the hope the British government would repeal the taxes. But in time it became clear the only option the colonists had was war, the Revolutionary War.
