Colonists often resorted to social ostracism, publicly shaming, or threatening those who supported British policies or officials. They might tar and feather individuals as a form of humiliation, and loyalists could face vandalism of their property. In more severe cases, those perceived as loyal to the British crown might be forcibly removed from their communities, reflecting the intense animosity towards British rule. These actions were part of a broader resistance movement leading up to the American Revolution.
