Sons of Liberty resorted to tar & feathers
for loyalists. A medieval punishment used as early
as 1191 under Richard III on his crusade. British
troopers used it too. In1775, the soldiers of the
47th regiment tarred and feathered a peddler who
tried to buy their guns. The Rogue's March on fife
and drum accompanied the crowd. In this picture
an Excise or Customs officer is tarred.
The Stamp Act hangs upside down on the tree.
We may need to remind our elected who elected them and who they serve.
