Interesting question.
There weren't a massive army of them and their 'leaders' (from what I've read of them) weren't big hulls of men.....not very intimidating, IOW.
Persuasive? Sure
"Silver tongue devils"? Obviously
But not the bullying types one would imagine.
Disir was probably close to the truth when he called them propaganda artists

really? First thing they did with Committees was forcefully disarm their neighbors. They demanded loyalty oaths and tests. Hmmm...

Ever read up on John Adam's defense of the troops at the so-called Boston Massacre? Tar and feathering in some areas? Attacks on persons and property -- some vicious meant to intimidate those would were on the sidelines and those who might think of voicing a different view?

Paine was a reactionary doofus and Adams and others used his screed while recognizing his ideology was dangerous --- see French Revolution

Yep. Little propaganda artists. And then they did everything they could to control those lower class folk.

Huh? You truly are an idiot. The Sons of Liberty went after teh wealthy class of Tories

gawd, usmb is infected with dumb-itis

Yeah, right. But, only to so they could have ALL of it.

They weren't wealthy at all. So says the tax lists.

No smuggling going on there with Hancock at all......

And Thomas Jefferson didn't use the the British as a way to redirect attention away from the protests and riots in his own back yard.
