Were our Founding Fathers terrorists?
by Dark Acolyte


We view these as acts of heroism. Today they would be viewed as acts of terrorism

1765 - In July, the Sons of Liberty, an underground organization opposed to the Stamp Act,
is formed in a number of colonial towns. Its members use violence and intimidation to
eventually force all of the British stamp agents to resign and also stop many American
merchants from ordering British trade goods.

1765 - August 26, a mob in Boston attacks the home of Thomas Hutchinson, Chief Justice of
Massachusetts, as Hutchinson and his family narrowly escape.

1765 - On November 1, most daily business and legal transactions in the colonies cease as
the Stamp Act goes into effect with nearly all of the colonists refusing to use the stamps. In
New York City, violence breaks out as a mob burns the royal governor in effigy, harasses
British troops, theN loots houses.
