The Sons of Liberty began in the 1760s, and they seemed initially to have formed in response to and directed their focus on the Stamp Act. There were loose groups of "unhappy Colonists" here and there, and as taxation and other perceived forms of English "opression" escalated, the groups began to increase in size and number. A call to more "formal organization" was made, and it was in August 1765 that the Boston group was "officially" formed. Groups in all the large population centers formed and linked up. Initially the Sons of Liberty supported British rule and only attempted to pressure the Crown into making more favorable decisions regarding the colonies, they eventually shifted their positions to overthrow English governance. Their initial efforts were attempts to ralley support for the relaxation of economic pressures placed on the Colonies by England, and they worked at maintaining controls on their "protests" to avoid violence. But eventually the weight of the Crown on the pursestrings of the Colonies grew too much, and the "serious objections" that lead up to the Revolution began.
