This particular organization of this name was founded in 1870 as an auxiliary
to the Order of United American Mechanics. These flagholders date to before 1915
when Daughters of Liberty became the Sons and Daughters of Liberty. See the
pages for its sibling organizations for a discussion of its anti-immigration,
anti Catholic, anti-whatever positions.
The name Daughters of Lliberty was earlier used to describe women who worked
underground, along with the Sons of Liberty, in opposing the Stamp Act and other
constrictions imposed by the British during Colonial times. They continued to
operate during the American Revolution. That early organization has no
connection whatever to this nineteenth century group.
