Fighting Back- Acts of Colonial Resistance

1765- Virginia Resolves Proposed by Patrick Henry Virginia could only be taxed by Virginians “if this be treason, let me make the most of it” Led to similar resolutions in 8 other colonies Printed and distributed to other colonies

Stamp Act Congress- 1765 James Otis persuaded other colonies to meet in NY to petition the king Acknowledged subordination to England but denied England’s right to tax without consent (only colonial legislature) England repeals Stamp Act, passes Declaratory Act

Sons of Liberty Started off as the Loyal Nine, grew in response to Stamp Act Intimidated, tarred and feathered tax collectors Burned stamps, threatened anyone who cooperated

Tarring and Feathering

SOL Focus on Propaganda Wanted to promote radical message in a peaceful way Spread propaganda in the form of letters, brochures, engravings, posters, etc. Organized Committees of Correspondence to spread information throughout colonies (Women and DOL involved)

Paul Revere’s on the Boston Massacre

The Gaspee Incident (1772) The Gaspee was a hated British schooner that operated on the coast of Rhode Island The Gaspee ran aground and was a sitting duck for the Sons of Liberty SOL members burned the ship and wounded crew members Propaganda was spread by the SOL and this inspired many Patriots

The Gaspee Burning

Boston Tea Party (1773) Bostonians upset with Tea Act (especially the smugglers) SOL members dress up like Mohawk Indians and dump 342 chests into Boston Harbor Britain is furious and pass the Coercive Acts

Boston Tea Party

The First Continental Congress (1774) Met to discuss problems with Great Britain Denounced Intolerable Acts Urged Colonists to organize a militia Called on colonists to suspend all trade with Great Britain Urged citizens not to pay taxes Did not call for Independence, but wanted grievances addressed

Important Propaganda John Dickinson’s Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania(1767)- no difference between internal and external taxes, colonies are sovereign Sam Adams’ Massachusetts Circular Letter (1768)- argued Townshend Duties unconstitutional, only colonial assemblies should tax (British military to Boston)

And Common Sense (1776) The most read piece of literature next to the Bible Thomas Paine (the original T-Paine) argued that there was no need for British connection (its Common Sense)
