The Sons of Liberty, a working-class revolutionary crew, were more like a
thorn than a threat to the British. But after destroying buildings and
carriages, a series of their pranks escalated into a bloody clash in 1770
that marked the first time American blood was shed in the independence
struggle. They put up so-called Liberty Poles ‹ metal shafts holding banners
that read "Liberty" ‹ all around Lower Manhattan, including at their
headquarters, Montagne's Tavern on Broadway between Warren and Murray inside
ground zero. When the British destroyed that pole a riot ensued known as the
Battle of Golden Hill.
