__CCQ's__ ===__1.__ Two effigies were discovered at dawn on August 14 _ what are effigies? they seem to be britsh people who make up most of the unfair taxes for the colonies. seems odd that they where DISCOVERED how could u discover them.=== 2. "stamping" the document said that the sons of liberty went around stamping goods around the city. what did they mean my stamping? like taxing or lableing that this product does not belong to british 3.WHAT!!? i thought the mob was suposed to me logical and political...burning down someones house isnt really political, nor logical. what did they think burning down thomases house would have done? 4.the common folk had awkend to there politcal power. this probably ment they realized if they didnt want to be taxed they have to something about it them selfs. which then they got the idea of mobs.

I dont support the actions taken by the mob against Andrew oliver and Thomas Hutchinson. To me, the mob attacked Hutchinson becasue they were jealous at the amont of wealth he had. He hadn't done anything to jepordize the colonies, he was attcked out of sheer jealousy. The sons of liberty took thier problems on politicaly, but soon just turned into a lawless unknown rabble as said by sam adams. I also think that the meer fact Hutchinson was realated to the stamp act comishoner Oliver, caused some of the hatered towards him. Andrew Oliver was Bostons stamp act comishoner, and the colonists hated the stamp act. So, it would be normal for him to be hated even enought to be made an effigie out of.The sons of liberty had formed a POLITICAL MOB as they called it, it turned out to be no more then the mindless mobs made by prisoners. If they hated Andrew so much then should have approched the problem political like they original planed to. Its natural that having so many people in a group would casue some confustiuon, EVERYONE has different view on how to approch the problem.
