Fanatics In Abraham Lincoln's The Sons Of Liberty

364 Words2 Pages

“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves” said Abraham Lincoln. The Sons of Liberty portrayed this very idea. Although,I strongly believe they are fanatics because they are crazy and evil against every little thing they does not go their way. One small example is, a simple tax makes them think that they have the right to sneak into a person’s house and destroy it for themselves. The sons of liberty are fanatics because they take tax people we are talking a living human and they would take that person and undress them to take and tar-feather them this is not okay at all. it is very wrong. that they are mindless and evil I tell you . I don’t think they are very good people not only for not paying the taxes and tar-feathering
