The British received harsh treatment from the Patriots in many ways. One way is that the Patriots covered the British soldiers in hot tar and then goose feathers. They burned British townsfolk's houses down because they honored King George the third. They also threw rocks at his picture because they dispised him so much. Lastly, they made effigies (dummies) of him and burned them. They were not as cruel as you think that they were. You can be surprised sometimes.

∙ 10y agoTarring and feathering was one method, and the most commonly used. The victim was immobilised and hot tar was either painted or poured onto their body; pine tar was most commonly used. The victim was then rolled in feathers and paraded, causing great humiliation, and this also served as a warning for other loyalists to beware. The patriots also tarred and feathered loyalist's houses and animals on various occasions.
