The Story Behind a Forgotten Symbol of the American Revolution
A forgotten symbol of the American Revolution is getting a new lease on life.
The compass centerpiece represents Boston innovation and the city's role as a hub of the American Revolution.
The "Sons of Liberty" flag was flown by the American colonists during the American Revolution. It was designed by Paul Revere and featured a red field with 13 white stripes, representing the 13 colonies. The flag also featured a blue canton with a white pine tree, representing the colony of Massachusetts, and a snake with the words "Don't tread on me." The flag was first flown in Boston in 1775, and it quickly became a symbol of American independence. However, after the Revolution, the flag was largely forgotten. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the flag, and it is now flown at many historical sites and events.
The rediscovery of the Sons of Liberty flag is a reminder of the important role that Boston played in the American Revolution. The flag is a symbol of the city's innovation and its commitment to freedom.
