Question

Give specific examples of colonial responses to english policies.

Answer 1

The colonists responded in a number of ways to British colonial policies and specifically to policies in regards to taxation. Colonists actively attempted to avoid and protest British taxation policies by finding ways to import certain goods and to not pay taxes other goods as well. Additionally the colonists led active protests against taxation policies such as the Sons of Liberty's protest against the Tea Act when they dumped British tea into the Boston Harbor in protest.
