People who joined the sons of liberty were usually the types of people who were affected the most by the tax laws. Most of these people were merchants, importers, and store owners just to name a few. They were losing money and customers and their products were harder to get so they joined to help get rid of the taxes. Other people who also joined were common everyday people who could have worked anywhere. They all feel strongly about the british and that they should leave and never return.people who were less likely to join were loyalists and people who were neutral and did not want to take a stand for one side. People who were british royal subjects were also not known to join. British soldiers were not allowed to join the sons of liberty
