On August 14, 1765, a group of American patriots known as the ‘Loyal Nine’ began their resistance against British rule in Boston, prompted by the imposition of the Stamp Act.

This group later evolved into the ‘Sons of Liberty,’ who organized protests and rallies to build support for independence, ultimately contributing to significant events such as the Boston Tea Party.

The anniversary of their formation serves as a reminder of their bravery and the enduring American ideals of freedom and self-governance that they advocated.
