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.
The Sons of Liberty tarred and feathered tax collectors as a form of protest against British taxation policies. This violent action was meant to intimidate tax collectors and discourage them from carrying out their duties.

They were really mean to British tax collectors. They tarred and feathered them, stoned them, and insulted them (even though the collectors probably where just doing their job and were not gung-ho about the cause).
No.
Some people joined the British army to show their loyalty. Others became tax collectors. But that was a dangerous job because tax collectors were tarred and feathered by the Colonists.
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.

In the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," the duke and the king are tarred and feathered by a mob for their scams and deceitful actions. This serves as retribution for their dishonesty and mistreatment of others throughout the story.
