notes:
The Liberty cap was based on the Phrygian cap of manumission of Asia Minor which was worn by slaves after they had been freed. It was adopted by the Sons of Liberty in America sometime after the French and Indian War in their rebellion against the British crown. Later as the "bonnet rouge," it became the symbol of the French Revolution.
