Question

Place a check mark next to each reason the colonists protested British taxation

Answer 1

Colonists used 3 types of resistance to protest British Taxes:
1. Intellectual Protest = papers, letters, documents denouncing the
British taxes and espousing the injustices of "taxation without
representation."
Example: Virginia Resolves
2. Economic Boycotts = the practice of refusing to buy goods in order
to pressure the opposing force into changing its policies.
Example: Women boycotted clothing and cloth from Britain and
became known as the "Daughters of Liberty." The colonists stopped
drinking British Tea in response to the Tea Act.
3. Violent Intimidation = using violence to convince the opposing
force into backing down.
Example: Tarring and feathering tax collectors.
