Question

how did support for the suffolk resolves by the continental congress push the colonies close to war ?

Answer 1

The Suffolk Resolves was a declaration that was made on 9 September 1774. The leaders of the Suffolk County Massachusetts were unhappy with the Massachusetts Government act and decided to boycott all imported goods from Britain. These Resolves are seen as a major development in the American settlers unhappiness to colonial rule. This unhappiness ultimately resulted in the development and adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration Of Independence stated that the thirteen states making up the USA considered themselves independent of Great Britain and were at war with Great Britain.
