Sinovi slobode

Sinovi slobode (engl. Sons of Liberty) je politička grupa koju su sačinjavale američke patriote. Nastala je u severnoameričkim britanskim kolonijama pre sticanja nezavisnosti. Grupa je formirana u cilju zaštite prava kolonista od uzurpacije od strane britanske vlade posle 1766. Sinovi slobode su najpoznatiji po organizovanju Bostonske čajanke 1773, što je dovelo do Nepodnošljivih zakona (oštrog odgovora britanske vlade), na šta su Patriote odgovorile mobilizacijom što je direktno dovelo do Revolucije 1775.
