Discover how a simple tree became the symbol of a revolution. In 1765, Boston colonists began gathering around a large elm tree to voice their opposition to the newly imposed Stamp Act. This tree soon became a powerful symbol of resistance against British rule. The concept of the “Liberty Tree” spread throughout the American Colonies, taking root in cities like Annapolis, where citizens rallied around their own trees to express shared ideals of freedom and unity.
