Search up John Adams, the TV show, perferably on History Network. It's actually a really good
show, I can recommend it.

It was actually the best idea he probably had, during the time, pretty much nobody knew how to
swim unless they were pirates, and tax collecters like him got tarred and feathered oftwn for
repossessing tea because of taxes.

in some cases this is true, but the substance used in tarring varied, as well as the temperature
of the substance. if boiling tar was used, for example, you'd just die.

The most vicious tar-and-feathers attack in Revolutionary America was carried out on a
Comptroller for the Customs Service named John Malcolm in Boston on 25 January 1774. Malcolm was
not only stripped and covered with tar and feathers but, a Customs Commissioner wrote, he was
also “punched wth. a long pole, beaten with Clubs, led to liberty tree, there whipt with Cords,
and tho’ a very cold night, led on to the Gallows, then whipt again.”[ii] That official’s sister
added, “They say his flesh comes off his back in Stakes.”[iii] As proof of his suffering Malcolm
sailed for London with scraps of skin that had fallen off his body, some with tar and feathers
still attached.

>pirates
>know how to swim
somebody hasn't been reading their history books
pirates were even worse sailors than the Empire's -- that is, they certainly couldn't swim, and
were bad at everything else sailing oriented.

Given how black the tar is in the film, it is "hot tar" pine tar, and thus would have burnt the
man all over.
So yes, he died.

It was kind of just how things were back then.
There werent state police forces until like 1850 or something. So the judiciary just relied on
people catching criminals and enforcing the law. If a mob went out of control the court system
just couldnt do anything about it.
Prisons also werent invented until like 1870, so back then the punishment was always torture of
some kind.

What is the Riot Act? Troops shooting a "rioting" mob is what British Law authorised when a hue
and cry turned to "mob law."
