The job of the Committees of Correspondence was to convince colonists to join the cause (A). This committee was meant as communication for the American colonies.

 

EXPLANATION  

 

In the years before the Revolutionary War, America formed Committees of Correspondence. The Committees of Correspondence was proposed by the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1773. This facility was organized in the decade before the Revolution when relations with Britain were deteriorating. This condition made the formation of this forum increasingly important for the colony, as a forum for sharing ideas and information.

In this forum, each colonial legislative appointed one committee to carry out inter-colonial correspondence. This forum later created high solidarity during the upheaval, until the First Continental Congress was formed in 1774.

Back in 1764, Boston formed a Committees of Correspondence. They called on the other colonies to push the opposition to unite against the increasingly strict enforcement of British customs and the prohibition of American paper money. In the following year (1765), New York formed a similar committee. This committee was formed to keep the other colonies aware of actions that were against the Stamp Act. This correspondence committee finally held the Stamp Act Congress in New York City. At the congress, nine colonies sent representatives.

Move to 1772, Boston re-formed the new Boston Correspondence Committee. The new committee is intended to communicate with all cities in the province across a wider range. This time the Boston appeal was answered by more than half of the 260 provincial cities. The appeal was that the Judge of Massachusetts and the Governor were to be delegated to the Crown.
