What method was employed by the Sons and Daughters of Liberty to oppose British tax collectors?

The Sons and Daughters of Liberty employed intimidation and violence as a method to oppose British tax collectors, particularly in response to the Stamp Act and other taxes imposed by the British government. This group organized protests, harassed tax collectors, and sometimes resorted to threats and mob violence to prevent the collection of taxes. Their actions were aimed at instilling fear in the tax collectors and deterring them from carrying out their duties, which ultimately contributed to the wider resistance against British taxation and governance.

While writing petitions and boycotting British goods were indeed part of the broader colonial response to British policies, it was the more aggressive tactics of intimidation and violence that characterized the direct confrontations initiated by the Sons and Daughters of Liberty. These actions galvanized the colonial population and played a significant role in the growing spirit of resistance leading to the American Revolution. Seeking royal pardon was not a strategy employed by the Sons and Daughters of Liberty, as they were focused on opposing British rule rather than seeking reconciliation.
