Tarring and feathering dated back to the days of the Crusades and King Richard the Lionhearted . It began to appear in New England seaports in the 1760s and was most often used by patriot mobs against loyalists. Tar was readily available in shipyards and feathers came from any handy pillow.

So, now we know the rest of the story.

LongWalker:
Until I started messing about with pine tar, I thought they were using "tar" like they fixed the roads with.  Then I started learning about the naval uses of pine tar and realized it was totally different stuff.  Either tar source, I think I'll continue to avoid being "tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail".
