They were the ones who were not apprehensive. They knew intuitively that discussion and legislative issues alone would not stop British oppression. They were able to turn to unprecedented methods, if necessary, to end this arrangement of shameful acts. They were American nationalists, northern and southern, male and female, old and youthful. They are Liberty's Sons and Daughters.

Like other mystery clubs at that point, the Sons of Liberty had numerous ceremonies. They had secret code words, awards, and images. Initially shaped in light of the Stamp Act, their exercises were more than ceremonial. It was the Sons of Liberty who scoured places of British authorities. Dangers and terrorizing were their weapons against charge authorities, making many escape town. Pictures of disliked figures may be hanged and consumed in representation on the town's LIBERTY TREE.

The Daughters of Liberty performed similarly significant capacities. When nonimportation turned into the chosen strategy, there was a characteristic material deficiency. Mass-turning honey bees were coordinated in different frontier urban communities to make custom-made substitutes. Since ladies regularly bought customer products for the home, the Daughters of Liberty got instrumental in maintaining the boycott, mainly tea.
