In an attempt to get money back they started taxing paper, pottery, cups and of course, tea. This act is known as the Stamp Act and was passed in 1765. Many patriots didn't agree with the infamous Tea Act. Because of this in 1765 some men created a secret group called the Sons of Liberty. They protested and had secret codes, badges and symbols. This was so spy's would not get information from the organization. They also had a flag that resembles the current american flag. The flag had 5 red stripes and 4 white stripes going in a 1-2-1-2 pattern. After the Sons of Liberty,  another group called the Daughters of Liberty grew from the shadow of  them. The Daughters of Liberty made tea called liberty tea, so America didn't have to buy from the British.]]> 2017-05-25 20:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/173901159 414171 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174478865 2017-05-30 18:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174478865 412655 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174479160    The Sons and Daughters of Liberty had power. Everyone was mad because of the Stamp Act, which is when it all started. They had persuasive power and, power in numbers. People were very mad at the Stamp Act so they would do anything to stop it, including murder. People did what ever they said because, they were considered hero's. They would use peoples anger for "good."]]> 2017-05-30 18:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174479160 414171 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174480961     The Sons and Daughters of Liberty were many things. They were American Patriots --northern and southern, young, old, male and female. The Sons and Daughters of Liberty were also heroes for many people because they protested to end the Stamp Act. ]]> 2017-05-30 18:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174480961 414567 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174482296    They had done many rituals. The British had just approved the Stamp Act, so they were mad, and wanted something to change. They would hang, burn, or cover them in warm tar and cover them with blankets of feathers, they were also involved in the Boston tea party, but for this, they protested in the Boston massacre, the British were already very mad at the Stamp Act, so they killed some of the Sons of Liberty.]]> 2017-05-30 18:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174482296 4136611 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174496752   The Sons and Daughters of Liberty must of seen the British as the "bad guys" because the British were taking their money and were not using it for the 13 American Colonies. The British might of thought the Sons and Daughters of Liberty were no more than a gang of thugs and gangsters because the sons were hanging their men and protesting their laws. This may have made the British think America were cheating scumbags and that America were the evil side of the argument. ]]> 2017-05-30 19:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174496752 414171 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174497530   The Sons and Daughters of Liberty are important because they made America free and were a big reason America is free. They would not give up until they were free. ]]> 2017-05-30 19:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174497530 414171 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174499250 2017-05-30 20:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174499250 414171 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174499383 2017-05-30 20:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174499383 4136611 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174500011   One of our guesses is that the modern american flag may have been built on the Sons of Liberty flag because the color and pattern. Another one of our thoughts is that the Sons of Liberty could have handled things better instead of covering British in hot tar and feathers! (They were really crazy!) Another question we had was if the British won would they be known as thugs or would they be forgotten? We also noticed the daughters of liberty were in the texts less than the sons of liberty. Maybe this was because before the women were looked down on and maybe this lead to the daughters doing less things in the battle and so this may have lead to them being less known. We also didn't find when the organization ended but we theorize it was disbanded before the war. We think this because all the texts we read ended before the war.]]> 2017-05-30 20:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174500011 4136611 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174500521 2017-05-30 20:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174500521 414567 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174500773   John Adams was a leader in Massachusetts and had a destiny to be the 2nd president of the United States. John Adams also was one of the leaders for the Sons of Liberty the other one being Samuel Adams. Samuel Adams was the 2nd cousin to John Adams. Another leader was Patrick Henry who said "Give me liberty or give me death!" in 1775. Paul Revere surprisingly was a member of the Sons of Liberty and he rode his famous ride shouting "The red coats are coming!" during his time as a son of liberty, John Hancock was the leader of the sons in Boston, soon he became president of the continental congress. James Otis was also a leader in Boston, he was a lawyer and public official. Lastly, Joseph Warren was a leader of the sons of liberty in boston who served as president of the revolutionary Massachusetts Provincial Congress]]> 2017-05-30 20:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174500773 414171 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174500775 2017-05-30 20:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174500775 414171 https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174508199 The British were-----The British started

We also opened our minds to the multiple perspectives of both the British and America. It made us wonder about the past and who was right or wrong but never the less, we enjoyed this unit.]]> 2017-05-31 19:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/4136611/tm5f740p3o3x/wish/174694677
