A tall liberty pole rises at the center of this painted scene, dated 1776, the year the colonies declared independence. Colonists raised such poles in towns from Boston to Charleston as public symbols of resistance to British rule, often topped with a liberty cap or flag and used as gathering places for speeches and celebrations. Loyalists and British troops frequently cut them down, and in New York the struggle over a pole helped spark street fights in 1770. Look for how the artist places the crowd around the pole, which shows how central these local gatherings were to the patriot cause.
