Leaders Organize a Boycott

San Colonial leaders opposed to the taxes. These was very important because it brought alot of violence into the colonies. Nine colonies sent delegated to the Stamp Act congress.

What was Boycott? This consisted in that you did not buy things coming from England.
They would spun the thread to make colth and make clothes for not buying things from England. So we can see that they really took seriouse these boycott.

Who was Charles Townshed? He was a financial officer to the crown. He thought colonies would accept taxes, but that didnt happened. He invented an act in 1767 called Townshend Act.

Colonists began to protest the taxes were to high. The largest riots happended in Boston.
