The colonists reacted in many ways, violent and non-violent. Most times it would start out as a peaceful protest like holding signs and saying chants like "No Taxation without Representation". Then some of the Red Coats would come along to cause a fight and get people arrested. Also, the colonists would write letters to the British government stating why these duties (taxes) were not fair. They would ignore the tax to the point where they got arrested and fined. Other colonists would Tar and Feather the tax collectors when they came to their house. Tar and Feather means to: Take hot tar and drench the tax collector in it. Then, cover them in chicken feathers and carry them (put them in a wagon) around town for people to trash them. People would throw things at them and also beat them up, if the person lugging them around allowed it.
