They fought together and they were going to die together as long as they fought for what’s right. The Sons of Liberty attempted peaceful solutions to the taxations from the king, fought for what they believed in, and were just acting out against the king in self-defense which shows the Sons of Liberty are patriotic leaders, not terrorists.

Chapter five opens with Hester coming into the light and leaving the cell in which she had been punished in for so long. However, once she is out, she decides to stay in Massachusetts, in the same community which has shamed her for so long.
