Question

What steps were taken by the colonists to resist british control?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

American colonists responded to the Sugar Act (1764) and the Currency Act (1764) with protest. By the end of that year, many colonies were practicing nonimportation, a refusal to use imported English goods.

A network of secret organizations known as the Sons of Liberty was created, aimed at intimidating the stamp agents who collected Parliament’s taxes (1765).

In response to new taxes, the colonies again decided to discourage the purchase of British imports. The Virginia House of Burgesses passed resolutions condemning Britain’s actions against Massachusetts, and stating that only Virginia’s governor and legislature could tax its citizens (1769).
