While it’s mostly recognised as being a punishment handed down in colonial times, the history of tarring and feathering stretches back all the way to the crusades and possibly further, with the earliest known recorded reference to the punishment being an edict passed down by Richard the Lionheart in 1189.

A number of the illustrated images of those applying the tar and feathering seem to be all smiles and having a jolly time.

I'm allergic to feathers can I be dipped in tepid chocolate and rolled gently in marshmallows?
I think the marshmallows would would stick by themselves.
Are you allergic to nuts as well? If not, have them dip you in almonds or peanuts as well.
And shredded coconut, you can't forget the coconut.

So how do you remove the tar and feathers from your skin? I am very unpopular in my town and I find myself tarred and feathered quite frequently.
michaelterry1000 My history teacher told us that they had to use knives to try and cut or peel off the hardened molasses, cutting some of their own skin along with it, exposing their skin to many infections and such.
Leave It on til it lubricates and falls off naturally.
It will come off when the burned skin sheds.
the oils in your skin will most likely make it easier removing the tar, rather than, if it's happened to you before, getting pine tar for example on your clothes.

Maybe it's time to bring this back. I can think of a few politicians who have it coming
Thanks for clarifying this. I am a tax collector for His Majesty in Boston, and I am afraid this will happen to me...
In the case of Sidney Rigdon, he was tied to a horse by his feet and drug across the frozen ground for some time. Not sure if that was the time the mob tried to force poison down Joseph's throat or during the tar and feathering incident but either way Sidney was never quite the same
@FactsOverFeelings Matter You're a nasty person. They did not.
Sidney Rigdon received considerable injuries to his head specifically as a result.
I have gotten pine tar on me before and you need some sort of solvent to remove it I think I sprayed wd40 on it and got it to wash off and it was just a little tar but back in colonial times with most of your body covered and no solvents readily available you would be tar covers for weeks or months and probably shunned for it
Yeah, lighter fluid, paint thinner, butane and different other oils and petroleum derived products also work.
You can get it off with just soap, if that's all you had. But it sure takes some rubbing. >.>
Maxx Kroes work better on arm pit and pubic regions
nasty stuff
Pine tar is quite common on construction sites. Always hated getting it on me , cuz yes it can be difficult to get off. We used gasoline which works really fast but you smell like gasoline till you shower. If that wasn’t an option, it usually took about 4-5 days to ware off with regular showers . The worst part about it is that it collected dirt soon after, so you ended up with something resembling dried mud or a “birthmark” wherever you got it on yourself and more often than not you didn’t even know you had gotten it on yourself till you noticed the “birthmark”.
Make tarring and feathering great again ❤️
For the longest time I thought that tarring and feathering before the American Revolution was more of a humiliating prank, but now that I know that it was BOILING tar, Jesus Christ that’s brutal
This starts off all happy with him smiling and it’s very unsettling
The thing I was taught by an uncle was you take thick tar and boil it in oil or lard to thin it to a consistency of paint when cool. This is how I pictured the tar and feathers happening.
this is something we should do to corrupt politicians
really sore knee
Well said. This should never be done to someone for politics crimes. Easily the dumbest thing I’ve read all day
@really sore knee WRONG
Kevin Worley a couple years ago I read about a mass execution of Saudi criminals by public beheading. And I was sorely disappointed by the commentary on that article that was applauding such barbarism. And I’m a guy who supports the death penalty.
@really sore knee ''Decent'' society doesn't exist, look how fast people turn ''barbaric'' when events even look like turning to shit. Corrupt politicians deserve cruel punishment for their cruel crimes against humanity.

Amazingly, despite being tarred and feathered by members of the angry mob, Joseph Smith did not retaliate in anyway. After spending the night removing the tar and feathers, he delivered a sermon at church to a congregation that had members from the mob. He was an awe-inspiring man of God.
"The next day was Sunday, and Joseph went at the usual time to worship with the Saints. The group of people he preached to included some members of the mob who had covered him with tar and feathers the night before. Even with his skin scraped and sore, Joseph preached as usual and never mentioned the violence of the night before."
As a side note, today is his birthday.
Okay, you've done tarring and feathering. Now do drawing and quartering., and for a bonus point, compare and contrast with burning at the stake.
Wowwwza 😂😂😂
Actually, in a High School History class; we watched a video that dealt with this exact topic. It was one I will not forget.
That screen shot u showed of the bootlegger from that lawless movie is why I researched this lol. What a coincidence. Great movie btw lol. Thanks for the info
Have there been any records of how the victims lived their lives afterwards?

Quietly 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I cannot stop laughing
joseph smith (the mormon guy) got it at least once and i guess he was fine. but he was also shot by another mob when he was in jail, fell out of the 2nd story window, and died. so who knows haha
@@bruceleroy8063 That or they moved to Britain.
Thomas Brown was a British officer in Georgia who lived for about 40 years after being tarred and feathered, and got rich and bought slaves in Jamaica.
Interesting. One minor nit -- when you mention Sidney Rigdon and Joseph Smith, a picture appears right when you say, "None other than Joseph Smith." Given the timing, one would assume that the picture is Joseph Smith, but it's Sidney Rigdon. That may just be a timing oddity, but why not show pictures of both men? They're not hard to find.
There aren't any surviving photographs of Joseph Smith that I know of. He also mispronounced Rigdon.
+Firewolf Knight: True, there are no photographs, but there are dozens (or hundreds) of paintings and he does use images of other paintings.
good to know.
Wait! There is even a couple of paintings of this event!
They do have a face cast of joseph smith so that's how they know his features.
Need to bring this back for tyrannical governors etc
Although, pitch does have antimicrobial properties to it, so, theoretically, one could survive the burns better if the pitch is left in place. They would also resist lice that would be found in the feathers. Some pluses, I suppose. LOL
and it just so happens that your skin is microbial, probably not great
this is what happened to my tory ancestors
In the musical "The Music Man" one travelling salesman complains that he was tarred and feathered in some town that threw him out. He exposes his calves and says "See, the hair doesn't grow back"

TAR AND FEATHER AGAIN 2020 🇺🇸
Pine resin also has disinfecting and wound-healing properties.
I think we could bring back tarn feathering they're definitely some crimes that it should be utilized for as well as shyster lawyers when they lose a case
I had a teacher in college who covered this scene during the American revolution. He described the act of tar and feathering as brutal and barbarous.
And uses a clip from that mini series "John Adams" to show us all how horrible it was
Of course, this was bullshit. They didn't use the black tar we think of or the star portrayed in the clip. But the funny thing is I sent him this video and talked to him about it yet he still denied it. He had already made up his mind and there's nothing anyone could tell him differently, leastnof all a smart ass freshman.
If you're an expert on something, don't be a prick about it. You can be wrong and still be an expert. An expert who can admit that is a special expert indeed.
yeah and 1% of people in the US being in prison isn't... brutal or barbarous... eh?? really the only difference is that they are out of sight and out of mind, and if anything this increases crime because would be criminals are less deterred.
Wow, this dude has changed...a LOT in the last four years...
I get the hot tar angle of the punishment but why were feathers part of it, why would that make it more humiliating
hmm good point, gotta laugh at something i guess.
I always thought the whole point was to make them look like a chicken, thus humiliating them. I couldn't tell you where, but I swear I've seen or heard of a less-lethal method of honey-ing and feathering.
The feathers were extremely painful to remove. They would be stuck to the person, and they would have to be pulled off one by one. Probably taking some skin with the feather.
Babidi - The feathering was done as entertainment for the flocks of people watching... It was for comedic effect... These days we just watch UA-cam Cat Videos.
those poor bastards who never had cat video's, they never truly lived did they.
when he said "force fed them acid" at 1:54 did anyone else think he meant LSD? Which honestly sounds pretty horrific. I mean not only are they going to tar and feather them but also make them have a really bad acid trip.
Chris Kounterstrike LSD wasn't even synthesised back then :/
Yaseen Akkad no but there was what they called ergot rye mold which is where LSD was synthesized from that his been around for centuries in all of Europe they used to call it the St. Vitus day dance because during the winter in the rye bread with mold and create the ergot which is what LSD is synthesized from so yes LSD was around in The form of the ergot mold
LSD FOR THE LDS!
Honestly, neither the acid or the burns were even that bad. The thing that hurt the most was the fact that one of the guys who beat me up started calling my mother a promiscuous gypsy, and insulted my taste in music before playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on a bagpipe.
It was most likely nitric or sulfuric acid. It would have left nasty chemical burns in the mouth, tongue, and esophagus.
This needs to be done to the media and Big Tech
thanks for teaching us so much! hope all your hard work pays off big time.
thanks for being considerate of us Smartphone viewers!
no tar or feathers for you, today!
I wish we still did this. There's plenty of people who deserve it.
the audio on this video is so quiet. even maxed I can hardly hear.

Lots of mumbling,too.
I thought it was just me.
Had I not been a native English speaker,I would have gotten absolutely nothing out of the video
claws - Obviously , there is something wrong with your system, for I had no problem hearing it at all! I don't know why your volume would be low, but I hope you can figure it out!
nightlightabcd. might be so. but the ads were blowing my ears out. I'll tinker with my settings. seems to be just this video for me.
claws Ryan - But you don't have low volume with other videos?
You deserve way more subs. I can't believe you don't have a million tbh. Keep up the good work!
The title was an image in my history book at school i read yesterday
Geoff its the same image from brozzers that i yerk too
In the excellent mini series, "John Adams", there is a very graphic scene in which the British Crown's Port Representative was stripped nude, and first a swab of tar run down his chest, followed by tar being poured over him. The actor's depiction of the agony of the process was very convincing. I believe, historically, the records state he died of his burns. Though I knew I was watching a dramatization, it was very well done, (no pun intended) and horrifying. People these days tend to be quite insouciant about tarring and feathering... but it was a dreadful punishment.
A guy called Thomas Brown got it even worse, after being tarred and feathered they burned him alive and scalped him, despite this he survived and lived to be 74
This should be for every politician who lies❤
Coal tar would not necessarily mean that infection could arise - in this same period it was discovered that coal tar had antiseptic qualities - in fact navy surgeons discovered this as when a sailor had
a limb removed the normal practice was to brush the exposed end with coal tar - this would result in very little infection - from this discovery there came the work of Joseph Lister and carbolic (coal tar) antiseptics - perhaps this is why those who were badly burnt by pitch/coal tar did not go on to succumb to bacterial infection from their wounds.
You wouldnt have to force feed me acid lol
As long as it's a lysergic
more research is needed . if the pitch wasn't hot enough to kill then it was used to ;
1 help the feathers stick
2 make them stick a while
3 cause some mild burns
so the question is ; what do the feathers mean? they must have some symbolic gesture. Feathers were used for many things; soft, insulate.....? of course its humiliating to be subjected to this treatment, but this wasn't simply pulled out of thin air the feathers had to be saying something specific.
This sounds stupid, but maybe it is to make the victim look like a chicken? I don't know
They used to do it to American slaves all the time. But, my family reports they used the boiling kind and were usually hanged afterward. They have pictures of Black Americans in postcards where this was done as recently as the 1960's as part of lynching.
a former State Historian from Texas told our high school history class that confinement in wooden stocks for many Saturdays in a row and sometimes tar and feathering was used on first time offenders in many states & territories the 1800s because the food was so bad in penitentiaries that a lot of young prisoners ended up with deformed spines and rickets by the time of their release, so people knew that imprisonment ended up as a life sentence of disability. so the humiliation punishments were used locally instead because they didn't have serious after affects.
In harsher times that often called for harsher measures, back when people couldn't sit in an air conditioned room behind a computer and type about how cruel people are.
HOLY CRIPES!!!! A naked faced Simon!!!!

Baby smooth skin tho. Lol
I was traumatized when our teacher showed us some one getting tarred 💀
People used to be so clever about torturing other people.
Holy cow. It’s a naked faced SIMON
Yeah I'm thinking the 'nude or seminude state' they were paraded through town in was not really of any concern itself. Aside from the fact that nudity was extremely common at all times prior to the Industrial Revolution, being covered head to toe in both pitch and feathers would kind of cover everything up. What I am wonder is if part of the intention was not just that it would be difficult to remove, but difficult enough that most people would simply have to wait weeks until their skin grew enough for the layer the tar was stuck to to slough off? That way it was a bit of a lasting punishment? Back in those days, public punishment was a very big deal. The original purpose of priests and the penances they assigned after confessions were not to obtain forgiveness of any diety, but to publicly display contrition and to obtain forgiveness from ones local community. That's why penances were typically things like wearing sackcloth for a week, or other very visible public things.
being nude was part of it buddy it might not have been uncommon in a normal manner but when strutted around like a human sized chicken it applies more shame to the person plus if they poured the tar on a persons clothing they could just take off the clothing. Also, there are a few know cases, where a woman found guilty of adultery, was forced to walk naked around the city as a form of punishment
Ah the good old days!
I just watched a scene from the HBO series 'John Adams', and a man got tarred and feathered, which is why I'm here. I couldn't get his name through the video as it wasn't said, there was no description, and the comments were disabled. But after a bit of searching I found the name 'John Malcolm', who was tarred and feathered in Boston on January 25th, 1774. I just wanted to ask, was John the man from the clip I saw? I'm sure someone has to have seen it.

There's a tarring & feathering scene in the TV show Carnivale, and it's horrifying.
Oh Mr. Newsoooooooome!
It's crazy how horrible the human race can be to one another and other animals.
This made me sad, idk😓.
People can be so f-ed up.
Simon, tThat all depends on how hot the tar is and its melting point.
Some tars and saps have a low melting point, but some tars have a melting point of
several hundred degrees F.
In order to survive you have to have a certain amount of skin.
You can not live without your skin.
Try sticking your hand in boiling water. That is olyh about 200 F.
Roof asphalt melts around 500 F.
If you poor a sufficient amount of melted asphalt over a person's body,
I guarantee you they will die.
And you would be doing them a service if you shoot them in the head before they suffer too long.
Simon, if you really want to know about Taring, go visit a Hospital Burn Unit.
Been there. Done that.

Urgent cry for assistance! Please send as much tar and feathers to Washington, D.C. as possible. And if possible send via the fastest means of transport! Lol?!
At 1:55 what type of acid is meant? Sulphuric or the hallucinogen?
Mister SatisfieD 満足 hydrochloric, citric, malic.... could be any number of the many acids.
I'd like to point out that there are other methods besides heating to get tar liquid enough to dip somebody in at suriviable temperatures, such as mixing it with gasoline, or naphta as it would have been called then.
You used my local paper as a source!
Wow. I feel exhausted. How many words per minute was that on average? I did a random spot check and counted 172
I got some pine tar on my hands once, and nothing gets that shit off. I eventually had to wash my hands with gasoline.
We really need to bring tar and feather back. Especially in Washington D.C. We could have this awesome event everyday as there's an abundance of traitors eligible.
You mean like the ones trying to overthrow a legitimate election? The ones more concerned with obstructing the party in control than in governing?
1:44
It's Rigdon. Not Ridgedon.
love the videos. but the volume is really low in most the videos.
Wasn't the threat of burning alive also part of the torture? I thought that was part of the reason for the feathers (the other reason being to make them look ridiculous).
I wish we could do this for rapist, molesters and wife beaters.
What about being ridden out of town on a rail?
Nothing about IRA tarring and feathering?
Shows photo of woman with skin peeling from sunburn on back.
Almost exclusively done to men. Frantically ripping for a hole to piss with tar cloyed fingers when you had to pee was probably the worst of it. You are definitely taking some damage out of that unless you had a great friend to help you.
Tar and Feathering is bad, but Pitchcapping was possibly worse.
Nice information, btw you look similar to Jhonny Sins
It's so weird seeing Whistler from 6 years ago.. I feel like current Simon would mock 6 years ago Simon.. lol
A worse for of punishment would be the "microwave" as seen in the movie "Elite Squad".
Thank you for portraying history and religion facts correctly.
How do you know the history "facts" are portrayed correctly? You don't know unless you were there.
You had a picture of the wrong Joseph Smith. Rigdon and JS Jr. were young men at the time, in their 30s. That is a picture of JS Sr.
No, that's a picture of Sidney Rigdon in his later life; Joseph Smith Sr. died in 1840 and it would have been just too early for there to be any photographs of him (especially of that quality). And Joseph Smith Jr. never reached an age to look like that (he was 38 when he died).
