Provost marshals uncovered hiding places containing weapons and arrested several prominent members of the Sons of Liberty. [Judge Advocate General] Holt released a report on the Sons of Liberty that portrayed them as a disciplined, powerful organization armed to the teeth and in the pay of Jefferson Davis to help him destroy the Union" [McPherson, Battle Cry of Freedom 782].
