Committees of Correspondence Started by Sam Adams Used to pass information between the colonies

1773: Tea Act Parliament repealed (took away) the Townshend Acts except for the tea tax Allowed the East India Tea Company to sell tea without the tax Led to the December 1773 Boston Tea Party

Spring 1774: The Intolerable Acts Designed to punish colonists! 3 major parts: Closed Boston Harbor, Boston under British martial law, Quartering Act (soldiers can stay in your homes) Also called the Coercive Acts

1774: First Continental Congress Met in Philly Sent King George III a “Declaration of Rights and Grievances” Told George we would continue to boycott until the Intolerable Acts were repealed. How did the king respond?
