Which group was established with the purpose of intimidating tax agents and opposing British taxation?

The Sons and Daughters of Liberty were formed as a response to British taxation and enforcement in the American colonies, particularly following the imposition of the Stamp Act and later taxes. This group engaged in acts of protest and intimidation against tax collectors, which included harassment and even physical threats. Their overarching goal was to resist British policies and push for colonial rights and independence.

The Sons and Daughters of Liberty played a significant role in organizing protests, such as the Boston Tea Party, and in rallying support among colonists against British rule. Their activities aimed not only at opposing taxation but also at fostering a sense of unity among colonists, making them crucial in the early stages of the American Revolution.

Other groups listed, such as the Committees of Correspondence, were primarily focused on communication and coordination among the colonies to strategize against British actions. The Whigs and Patriots generally referred to broader political factions and ideologies advocating independence but were not specifically focused on the intimidation of tax agents.
