KarenNC Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 When we were on a college visit this week, my daughter said that one of the students she talked to mentioned that one of the history professors was a "son of liberty." I've googled, but not been able to find a modern context, so I thought I'd ask if anyone is familiar with the term. Re-enactors, maybe?

KarenNC Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Thanks. I didn't find either of those in my searches and my google-fu is usually pretty good. Could well be the second, looks more like it's in this area. My daughter was concerned it might be a group with strong negative associations, so I'm glad to see it doesn't seem to be. She's interested in history and the department is pretty small, as is the college, so she'd likely have several classes with this particular professor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) I have only heard that term used in reference to the militia movement.\ Example: https://www.facebook.com/ILSLMILITIA/ Edited March 18, 2018 by ChocolateReign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 If you dig deeper on the motorcycle club you will find some things that seem to indicate ties to the militia movement also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Looks like I need to ask around a bit among folks I know who are affiliated with that college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 You could also try googling the professor's name, with and without "sons of liberty." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I've also heard it mentioned in connection with modern militia movements and some corners of libertarianism, but I'm not sure what formal meaning it has or if maybe there's another context or meaning.
