The Sons of Liberty were people gathered in groups who did not accept England’s new laws. The most representative groups were from Boston and Charles Town, South Carolina. Christopher Gadsden lead the people from South Carolina.
Specifically, the people from Charles Town were very upset about the Stamp Act. The Act was a new law from Great Britain in 1765 that imposed taxes on American Colonies for every piece on printed paper.
In a demonstration of discontent, the colonist protested firmly, demanding England to reconsider the imposition of the printed paper tax. Their motto was: "No taxation without representation".
