Summary[edit]
DescriptionFifth Liberty Pole, New York Commons, NYC.jpg | Scenes from the American Revolution: Fifth Liberty Pole on the New York Commons. The Liberty Pole was a symbol before which the Sons of Liberty assembled to pledge "their fortunes and their sacred honors in the cause of Liberty." The five Liberty Poles erected in New York before the outbreak of the American Revolution were a source of contention between the patriots and the British soldiers stationed in the city. The first Liberty Pole was erected June 4, 1776, in what is now City Hall Park and was cut down on August 10, 1766. | |||||||||||||||||||
