 Leaders Organize Boycott

In order to control protest activities, 9 colonies showed up in the Stamp Act in October 1769 held in New York City and they all sent their representatives.
Members on the congress did a consumer's boycott of all the goods imported from Britain.
This was also called the ''non-importation agreement'', and it really threatened the British Industry.
colonists found their way to protest the British taxes.

There were 3 tactics the Colonists used in order to protest;

1- Intellectually, Patrick Henry wrote an essay called ''Virginia Resolves'' in which he quoted the following: ''GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH'' and this helped the colonists

2- Economically, they made the non-importation agreements

3- Violently, the colonists tortured the tax collectors and made them fear.
