ANSWER: Most students should be able to say something about the issues of economic boycotts and
crowd intimidation, especially the type carried out by the Sons of Liberty. Better students will put their effectiveness within the context of repealing the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. Better students should also be able to explain that the boycotts were effective because they adversely affected profits of politically influential British merchants.
