The Sons of Liberty is a secret association formed in the Thirteen American Colonies. The main objective is to fight the application of taxation without representation by the British government.

EXPLANATION  

This movement also played a role in combating the Stamp Act in most colonies. This group was officially parted after the Stamp Act was revoked. A few years before the American Revolution, Sons of Liberty had also been labeled as a separatist group.

Sons of Liberty was an underground organization that had a formal structure. They had members and leaders. The name Sons of Liberty was also used as an underground term for those who also oppose taxation without representation. This association was also known as the anonymous Liberty Tree, "Pole Liberty", and as a public gathering place.

There was one very powerful slogan as a unifier that helped promote efforts to fight this unfair tax policy. The slogan was "No Tax Without Representation." After the American Revolutionary War ended, Isaac Sears, Marinus Willet, and John Lamb revived the Sons of Liberty in New York City. Precisely in March 1784, they gathered a large crowd and called for the expulsion of all the Loyalists left in the country. Members of the Sons of Liberty managed to get a pretty large seat in the election of New York councilors in December 1784

Why did President Theodore Roosevelt's advocate the policy of "big stick" diplomacy for the United States?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Roosevelt used the "big stick" because he believed he had it to use. The US had proved a few years before that its navy could stand up to Spain and that the army and marines could hold its own its own in small-scale land wars.

He believed that the US should continues its policy established by the Monroe Doctrine decades before to protect American countries from foreign intervention or take-over. The problem in his day was more from economic threats from foreign countries trying to collect debts than from dreams of colonization, but Roosevelt saw a parallel.
