Leaders Organize Boycott
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.
