Is the Internet Defense League just an American thing?

  Don't think so. The liberty cap has been a symbol of emancipation from slavery in Western culture since ancient times. There's a statue of Columbia, goddess of liberty, atop the dome of Congress. She was designed with a liberty cap, but was created too close to the American civil war for the south to accept the symbolism.

    Thank you for the explanation. I couldn't find a nice succinct explanation in my quick google search.
