the Sons of Liberty are famous today because they really pushed at starting the American Revolution. They were a group of men (there were women too who were in the Daughters of Liberty) who formed a club to protest different British taxing acts such as the Sugar Act (1764) and the Stamp Act (1765). They are also famous for the Boston Tea party, which was to protest the taxing on tea.
