	Sons of Liberty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sons of Liberty was a label adopted by Patriots in the British North American colonies before the American Revolution.
		British authorities and their supporters considered the Sons of Liberty as seditious rebels, and referred to them as "Sons of Violence" and "Sons of Iniquity." Latter-day historians have called them terrorist, a word that was coined during the French Revolution and gained new meanings in recent decades.
		In 1767 the Sons of Liberty adopted a flag with nine vertical stripes (five red and four white).
