The Liberty Tree
The Liberty Tree (1646=1775) was a famous
elm tree that stood in Boston near Boston
Common, in the years before the American
Revolution. In 1765, colonists in Boston
staged the first act of defiance against the
British government at the tree. The tree
became a rallying point for the growing
resistance to the rule of Britain over the
American Colonies, and the ground
surrounding it became known
as Liberty Hall.
