Answer 1

Answer:

A. They made clothing and other goods that colonists could not get due to the boycott of British goods.

Explanation:

The Daughters of Liberty were a group of women who identified as protestors and fighters during the American Revolution. These women formed an association that stood against the unfair British taxation, which elevated the cost of British goods coming to America. These women took a more active role to alleviate the situation with the lack of British goods, one of the main ones being using and spinning yarn into cloth so that their people would not have to buy imported clothing.
