With a reputation of being the incorrigible rascals of their time, Sons of Liberty took up many campaigns of resistant, starting with the Stamp Act. They ransacked British officials homes and places of business, ran tax collectors out of town with threats and intimidation, and gave striking displays via the townâ??s Liberty Tree by hanging and/or burning likenesses of targeted enemies. These unfortunate folks might also find themselves tarred and feathered by the Sons. Among their more â??civilizedâ?? resistance activities was a formation of a very coordinated and unified network of communication and letter-writing. The Daughters of Liberty supported the change of dependence upon British goods to local marketsâ?? textile availability by organizing large-scale spinning bees. They agreed in solidarity to support the tea boycott that the New England states are so famous for.
