Draft:Sons of Liberty flag
Historical United States flag / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sons of Liberty Flags,[1] known as rebellious stripes holds a significant place in American history as a symbol of the early resistance against British rule. The flag was first used in the mid-1760s during various demonstrations organized by the Sons of Liberty. This group later became widely known for their role in the Boston Tea Party. The British authorities viewed the flag as a symbol of rebellion and resistance.[2] As a result, the British tried to suppress it, along with other forms of colonial protest. The flag became a powerful symbol of American resistance and independence, and its suppression only heightened its significance among the American colonists.[3][4]
