This were from the New England colonies and what the did was to protest the acts the the British Government put on them. Some of the Important members that were in this groups were Paul Revere and Samuel Adams. Most of the members of this organizations had money, they had come from middle class or upper class. It was organized by merchants, businessmen, lawyers, journalists, and others who would be most affected by the Stamp Act. They also opposed the Townshend Acts, the Tea Tax, and any form of "Taxation without Representation".

Sons of Liberty, protest against the Stamp Act in 1765. The purpose of the tax was to help pay for troops in North America after the British victory in the Seven Years' War. This act consisted that each stamp paper the colonist used they had to pay.  It could be printed materials, legal documents, magazines, newspapers and many other types of paper used throughout the colonies. The actual cost of the Stamp Act was relatively small. Even though, the colonist get very mad and considered it a violation of their rights as Englishmen to be taxed without their consent. So it was there when they started protesting, they fought for their rights and repeal this act in March 18,1766. 

In December 1773, the Sons of Liberty made a declaration in New York City called the Association of the Sons of Liberty in New York, which stated their opposition to the Tea Act and that anyone who assisted in the execution of the act was "an enemy to the liberties of America". By the end of that year the Sons of Liberty existed in every colony. Their objective was to force Stamp Distributors throughout the colonies to resign. 

After the end of the American Revolutionary War, Isaac Sears along with Marinus Willet and John Lamb, in New York City, revived the Sons of Liberty.
