When the colonists didn't like the idea of the stamp act they rebelled and opposed against it in avvery violent way. Later a month the stamp act was approved the colonists created a group against it they were so bond and united with each others they called themselves patriots.
This association called patriots let noticed to the government when they didn't like something about the laws, they jut started to violently and brutally attack the tax collectors.
This made Boston the most violent colony of the area by that time period but it didn't stopped their it continued in August of 1765 when a angry mob lead by the sons of liberty took everything to another level by taking down and damaging the house of stamp act tax collector.
This was just another way of them to express their feelings towards their believes.
Sadly there way of expressing themselves was in a violent way.
The governor of Massachusetts didn't understand or wasn't scared enough but he continued and he announced to everyone that it was a must for people to pay the taxes correspondent to them no matter what happened.
The sons of liberty and patriots were furious to the governor declarations so they took governors house down.
While all of this going on nobody had the guts to collect the taxes which it was a smart decision if not the patriots or sons of L. could take their homes down.
