"To strike at the mother country where it was most vulnerable, embargoes were declared on all British goods carrying import duties. And the Sons of Liberty attacked anyone who did not observe the ban by the liberal use of tar and feathers and riding a rail. The fiercest opposition to Britian's revenue laws was staged in Boston, the principal port of Massachusetts, where a militant group of agitators - led by an ex-tax collector, Samuel Adams, and a local merchant, John Hancock - conducted a campaign that skillfully combined violence and sophisticated legal and political strategy. Radicals were now sitting not only in the elected Massachusetts Assembly, but on the Executive Council that governed the colony."
