The Liberty Tree Origins

The Boston Liberty Tree, also known as the Great Elm, was planted in 1646, 16 years after Boston's founding. It stood on the corner of what is now Washington and Essex streets. The tree became a symbol of revolt and defiance amongst the colonists after the Loyal Nine (a secret political organization who eventually grew into the Sons of Liberty) planned to resist the newly passed Stamp Act.

British Parliament passed the Stamp Act on March 22, 1765 in order to fund the heavy debt the Crown incurred during the Seven Years' War. The new act, which the colonists argued that only their own representatives could levy, taxed all printed materials including newspapers, contracts, court papers and even playing cards. Parliament rejected their argument by claiming the colonists were already represented, even though they weren't granted a Parliamentary vote.

On August 14, 1765 the Loyal Nine finally rebelled against the "unconstitutional" law by hanging an effigy from the tree with the initials "A.O." pinned to it. "A.O." was a reference to Andrew Oliver, a public official within the Province of Massachusetts Bay who was responsible for implementing the tax.

After initially refusing to cut down the effigy, protesters led by Ebenezer McIntosh decided to place "A.O." into a coffin and parade it through the streets while chanting "liberty, property, and no stamps!" The parade came to a halt outside Oliver's home where the crowd then burned the effigy before ransacking Oliver's home. Oliver handed in his resignation as stamp commissioner the following day.

The group eventually chose to go in a more emblematic direction (after denouncing McIntosh for his violence) by fixing a copper plate to the elm reading "Tree of Liberty". The legend of the liberty tree soon spread throughout the colonies (and later across the world during the French Revolution in 1789), inspiring other cities and towns to protest and speak out against the Crown's tyranny underneath their own Liberty Trees.

In 1775, shortly after the onset of the American Revolution, the reputation of the renowned elm became too much to bear for the British military. Loyalists to the Crown began hacking away at the tree: "After a long spell of groaning, swearing, and foaming, with malice diabolical they cut down a tree because it bore the name of 'liberty.'" The tree supplied the British army with 14 cords of wood, which were used to heat their homes and garrisons.

Today, a bronze plaque paying homage to the legendary tree sits at the corner of Washington and Essex street.

Although the Liberty Tree is largely forgotten about today, the elm helped inspire, encourage, and awaken the colonists desire for freedom, and should forever hold a spot within our history books.

“The world should never forget the spot where once stood Liberty Tree, so famous in your annals.”
-Marquis de Lafayette, 1825

@Javier_00 @Turke2Bss @SteveBenedict17 @HowlinMacdonald @AzPetrich So then make your point, conquistador.

@Javier_00 @Turke2Bss @SteveBenedict17 @HowlinMacdonald @AzPetrich Strange, US students test slightly higher overall compared to Spain as per PISA.

~200 children lost due to school shootings per year, and over 1 million are lost per year via abortions in the US; abortion rate is identical in both countries. Talk about wretchedness.

@Javier_00 @Turke2Bss @SteveBenedict17 @HowlinMacdonald @AzPetrich Strange, the Portuguese were telling me how much they loved America when I went to visit. Maybe your weak mind is just susceptible to state propaganda from the EU.

@Javier_00 @Turke2Bss @SteveBenedict17 @HowlinMacdonald @AzPetrich Buddy, you can’t even cast a vote for your EU overlord. Your leaders spread their crack to the EU illusion, jokes on you.

If you want to be ashamed, look inward.

But hey, you have a few guys that know how to kick a leather ball around.

@Blue8074 @Alien_Sprout @nemesis_trading @dqveed Total illegal immigration was almost double from 2020 thru 2024 than 2009 - 2019.

Majority of the cases are all in border states/surrounding areas.

CDC revised their MMR recommendation in Jan 2026, long after outbreaks began rising starting in 2020.

@TwiterBug1234 @we_todd_ed1 @TheHoleTweet @RpsAgainstTrump He achieved more in ~30 years than you could ever dream of doing in 30 lifetimes.

He was mourned by many when he passed; doubt you could say the same.
