The Sons of Liberty employed boycotting as a strategic tool to challenge British taxation and reduce the revenue flowing into the royal treasury. By organizing widespread boycotts of British goods, they aimed to create economic pressure on British merchants and manufacturers, who would then lobby the government to repeal unpopular taxes, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. These actions not only hurt the British economy but also rallied colonists around a common cause of resistance against perceived tyranny. Ultimately, the boycotts fostered a sense of unity among the colonists and contributed to the growing movement for independence.
