Pine Tree Flag |
|
The men of various towns banded together into secret societies known as "The Sons of Liberty". They customarily held their meetings under a large pine tree on the village green. The British General Gage, after hearing of this ordered the tree cut down. Much to his regret the tree then became a symbol of resistance in Massachusetts and throughout the colonies. Various militia units proudly adopted the pine tree for their regimental colors.
