Gabryella Augustin 10/26/10  Period 5 Essay The sons of liberty were justified in using the mob as a political tactic.Use evidence from the document to support your opinion. The sons of liberty should be justified in using the mob as a political tactic.They should be jusftified because first of all they did not have a representative in the parliament. Secondly they wanted to stand up for themselves. Lastly it was not fair that they could not have a voice “NO TAXATION, WITHOUT REPRESENTATIVE. The sons of liberty should be justified in using the mob as a political tactic. In opinion they should be justified because they did not have much right it was very unfair the fact that they did not have a representative in parliament. The british were raising tax on them like crazy but it was just unfair that they couldn’t do anything about it. The british would always raise taxes on the colonist example the sugar act they also raise tax on it because the british felt like they helped the colonies so the colonist need to repay them in return and it was by paying tax. In addition since the Colonies wanted to stand up for themselves because they did not have someone to speak up for them they went on on their own and protested because they were told they had to pay tax and they couldn’t do anything about it and that is what formed the sons of liberty it was a group of colonies that gathered together and protested. They felt like they could use their own products and they did not need the British and the British were upset that caused them to create more laws. And the fact that the British increased the law on the colonies made the colonies started to throw snow balls at the british soldiers because they did not like seing the them on the streets. And that was called the Boston massacre. In conclusion the colonies felt like it was unfair that they had to pay tax and not have a representative to speak up for them so they created the “No taxation without representative.” They said if the don’t have a representative to speak up for them they tey would not be paying tax. In my opinion the colonies were right because it was like the british were torturing then without the right to speak up. It makes a lot of sense for the to protest so the Colonist should be justified.
