21. The Sons Of Liberty Made Liberty Trees Popular
Trees became a popular place for colonists to meet to plan a protest and then protest. Once one group decided to use a tree, other groups quickly followed. With the popularity of the Sons of Liberty, the trees quickly became known as Liberty Trees.
Boston has one of the first and most significant liberty trees in the colonies because it became the main tree for many revolutionary protests in Boston. There is no way to tell how many liberty trees stood in the colonies, but many believe it’s over 100. Decades after the war, people still honored the liberty trees.
