Answer:

In Boston on August 14, 1765, the Sons of Liberty met under what was known as the Liberty Tree near Boston Common. Hoisted on the tree was an effigy of Andrew Oliver, the city's stamp tax agent.

However Parliament then passed the Declaratory Act, which stated its right in principle to tax the colonies as it saw fit.
