Question

Which of the following BEST explains who the Daughters of Liberty were and the role they played in the American Revolution?

Answer 1

The Daughters of Liberty were women who boycotted British goods, instead of producing the goods they needed at home. Moreover, The Daughters of Liberty was a group of political dissidents that formed in the North American British colonies during the early days of the American Revolution.

 

EXPLANATION:  

The major task of the Daughters of Liberty was to object the Stamp Act and the Townshend Act by assisting The Sons of Liberty in non-import movements and boycotts before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War.

The following are some facts about the Daughters of Liberty:

• Like the Sons of Liberty, the Daughters of Liberty was created as a response to unjust British taxation in the colonies in the American Revolution, specifically, the Townshend Acts 1767 which were a set of actions that imposed taxes duties on imported British goods like glass tin, paint, paper, and tea.

• Even though several sources say that the Daughters of Liberty was a community or an official group of women, other sources specify that it was more than a blanket term used to define all women who supported the patriotic causes.

• Based on the book Household Manufacturers in the United States (which reviews how women's craft skills assisted contribute to the American Revolution) the Daughters of Liberty was a real society that had chapters in many parts of New England.

• Another book, entitled Civil Disobedience: An Encyclopedic History of Dissidence in the United States, also says there were many official units of society, especially in Rhode Island.
