As sides were drawn in Boston during the 1770s, both loyalists and patriots, grew and hatched secret plans. To try and stay ahead of each other, both set up a network of spies to gather information. Focusing on the Sons of Liberty spy network, known as the “Mechanics,” we will explore the multiple perspectives of the mechanics as they gathered information to push Boston towards Revolution.
