The Sons of Liberty were rebellious activist against the British in which the Continental Congress did not mind. Meaning that the congress was made of representative from the colonies where they shared their ideas of freedom. During the 1770s George 3 was the king of Great Britain and control of the colonies. The Second Continental Congress meeting decided to create a Continental Army against Britain in which George Washington was chosen to lead. A rebellious pamphlet from Thomas Paine "Common Sense" made the colonies rethink of Great Britain's empowerment. Soon afterward, Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence stating the liberty of the America's.
