The term "cancel culture" is one that has polarized and divided the United States in the 21st century. But at the beginnings of the United States, another form of cancel culture existed.

This week, we'll learn about the punishment of tarring and feathering someone. We'll learn about the punishment's English origins with Richard the Lionhearted, how tarring and feathering came to the colonies, who was tarred and feathered during the Revolutionary era, and how determining who was tarred and feathered in the United States evolved over time.
