Question

Were the sons of liberty in their treatment of the loyalists?

Answer 1

The Sons of Liberty attacked all those who were loyal to the British Crown.  One example was during their opposition of the Stamp Act.  They attacked acting the home Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hutchinson who attempted to implement the Stamp Act.  They wrecked furniture, tore papers and as well looted jewels and money.  As the movement grew in the Thirteen Colonies, they used mob action to intimidate British officials.  They also established Committees of Correspondences that stood up to the Trade Navigation Act implemented by the British Government.
