Protesters refused to pay the Stamp Act tax in the American colonies during the 18th century, particularly in cities like Boston. This resistance included violent actions such as tarring and feathering tax collectors, who were seen as agents of British oppression. The Stamp Act, enacted in 1765, prompted widespread outrage and was a significant catalyst for the American Revolution.

What eventually happens to the duke and king in the adventures of huckleberry Finn?

They are tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail (a log split into quarters, with the pointed, splintery side up to sit on- not the bark-covered round side). Very few people who are tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail, come back for more- which is the point. While it is not mentioned in the book, miscreants had their clothes removed, which made the hot tar even less pleasant. Rails were used to make fences, so they were always handy. Abraham Lincoln had something of a name as being a good rail splitter.
