The Daughters of Liberty

The Daughters of Liberty were a group that proved women's that involved in politics could be beneficial for the country. As the support to boycott British goods went up, "Daughters of Liberty" joined the support to oppose British importation. The Daughters of Liberty used their skills to weave yarn and wool into fabric named "homespun". They were known as patriotic heroines for their success, which made America less dependent on British Textiles. while Patriots supported the non importation movements of 1765, and 1769, the daughters of liberty continued to support American resistance. In many small towns and villages women spun wool into homemade cloth. In 1774, the patriot women helped influence a decision made by Continental Congress to boycott all British goods. The decision to boycott British goods was due in a very large part to the patriot women who were very determined to reach demands for homemade clothing. Decisions made to boycott of British goods would not have been possible if the women had not created a substitute for the imported material. The "Daughters of Liberty" were working from morning to night to prove their commitment to "the cause of liberty and industry". The daughters of liberty were one of the many groups of women who fought for woman's equality and supported the soldiers during the American Revolution.
