Describe the colonists’ pattern of resistance to British actions from 1763 to 1775. What appears to have been the most effective form of resistance? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER
The pattern was in three parts; petitions to the king and Parliament for redress of grievances, economic boycotts, and intimidation by crowd action. The boycotts forced the repeal of the Stamp Act and the Townshend Duties because boycotts adversely affected the profits of politically powerful British merchants.
