in Agatha all along Episode 3 Agatha and her coven face their first trial, one that results in the loss of Mrs. Hart (Debra Jo Rupp).

Marvel’s Daughters of Liberty Comics team members explained

An impressive collection of strong women

In real life story, The Daughters of Liberty were founded in 1765, joining the American colonies’ Sons of Liberty during the boycotts against the British Empire. And during the protests for the stamps and Townshend. Not only did they participate in spinning bees to make clothes for their families instead of buying British textiles, but they were also responsible for helping to stop the boycotts by refusing to buy any imported British goods for their homes. They also created berry drink substitutes for British tea after the Tea Act, known as “freedom tea”.

Once the war with the British began in earnest, various factions of the Daughters of Liberty could be found across the American colonies, sewing soldiers’ uniforms and melting metal for ammunition. However, the Daughters of Liberty continued throughout the generations and in the present in Marvel Comics, an ongoing group of​​​​​​women working to protect the ideals of freedom and liberty in the modern era. Trained in combat, science and espionage, several generations of daughters were also trained in the art of magic by Agatha Harkness herself.

An impressive collection of strong women

Beyond Agatha Harkness, the modern Daughters of Liberty in Marvel Comics have quite an impressive list of strong women working to lead and protect the world, preventing various abuses of power and corruption. Led by key figures known as the Dryad (including Harriet Tubman), Peggy Carter is the current Dryad leading today’s Daughters of Liberty. Here’s every known cast member from the comics, and if they also exist in the MCU (or soon will):

Remarkably, there are several prominent members of the Daughters of Liberty in the comics who already exist in the MCU, even if the group has yet to officially come together on screen. Likewise, the entire list of the comics would probably not be able to fully unite due to various deaths (Peggy Carter and Black Widow), and others have darker on-screen arcs such as Sharon Carter (who is secretly the power broker). This is also for Agatha herself, whose allusion to the MCU’s Daughters of Liberty Agatha all along It doesn’t exactly look like she was an ally to their cause that she is on the page.

Do the Daughters of Liberty still exist in the MCU?

Probably not (thanks to Agatha)

in Agatha all along Episode 4, the coven shares battle scars and stories from their past after their second trial on the Witches’ Road. When Agatha is asked about her own, she points to a scar on her elbow she claims came from what appears to be a large knitting needle. Agatha asks her fellow witches if anyone has ever heard of the Daughters of Liberty. None of them have, and Harkness responds with “Exactly“. To this end, the clear implication is that the daughters are all defeated by Agatha herself.

moreover, The knitting needle used to stitch Harkness suggests that Agatha is talking about the original Daughters of Liberty of 1765Rather than the more contemporary iteration seen in Marvel comics. Rather than offering to teach and train in the ways of magic, the MCU’s Agatha probably found herself in conflict with the original daughters, and subsequently wiped them all out. After all, the MCU’s Agatha is much more villainous and darker than the comics version of Harkness, who is generally a much more neutral character in general.

Who was on the MCU’s Daughters of Liberty team?

Or it could be…

that is, It is certainly possible that the Daughters of Liberty perhaps survived in the MCU and continued operating in secret. Agatha may simply be unaware of their continued existence in the present. With this idea in mind, it would be fascinating to learn that certain characters in the MCU are part of a secret society of women working to keep the world safe. Furthermore, it is also possible that the Daughters of Liberty could be revived at some point in the MCU’s future.

While no one is specifically named as a daughter of Liberty in Agatha all alongThe version that Harkness is referring to is more than likely just the original group of ​​women who supported the sons during the Revolutionary War. However, even if a more modern team at some point comes together in the MCU, characters like Agatha and Sharon Carter would not be on it, and the same is of course for those already deceased, like Black Widow and Peggy Carter (the Dryad). Either way, it’s still a fun reference considering Agatha’s comic connections to the group.
