Yes, the Sons of Liberty did engage in tar and feathering as a form of protest during the American Revolution. This method was used to intimidate and punish loyalists and those who supported British policies, particularly tax collectors and government officials. By covering individuals in hot tar and feathers, they aimed to publicly shame and deter others from cooperating with British authorities. This tactic was part of a broader strategy of resistance against perceived oppression by the British government.

What activities did the sons of liberty and the and the daughters of liberty organize?

Like other secret clubs at the time, the Sons of Liberty had many rituals. They had secret code words, medals, and symbols. Originally formed in response to the Stamp Act, their activities were far more than ceremonial. It was the Sons of Liberty who ransacked houses of British officials. Threats and intimidation were their weapons against tax collectors, causing many to flee town. Images of unpopular figures might be hanged and burned in effigy on the town's LIBERTY TREE. Offenders might be covered in warm tar and blanketed in a coat of feathers.
