Protesting the Stamp Act... Effigies hanged...
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Oct. 10, 1765 Page 6 has an excellent & detailed account datelined from Boston, Aug. 26, of the protest against the Rhode Island tax distributor & two others.
The text includes: "...were discovered hanging on a limb of the great trees...two effigies, one of which by the labels appeared to be designed to represent a Stamp Officer, the other a Jackboot with a head and horns peeping out of the top: The report of the images soon spread thro' the town...About dusk the images were taken down, placed on a bier supported in procession by six men...in the greatest order, echoing forth Liberty and Property! No Stamps, etc...." with more on the protest.
And a bit further on: "...The next day the honourable gentleman who had been appointed to the duty of Distributor of the Stamps when they should arrive, supposing himself to be the object of their derision, informed the principal gentlemen of the town that as it appeared so disagreeable to the people he should request the liberty of being excused from that office..." with more.
See Wikipedia for further information on this action by the Sons of Liberty. An excellent account of this noteworthy protest to the Stamp Act.
