Samuel Adams began the committees of correspondence which was groups that contacted other towns and colonies about British taxes and how to fight them. One popular protest method was the boycott where people refuse to buy certain goods in protest. Samuel Adams also helped form secret societies called the Sons of Liberty, which were groups of men that protested British policies and sometimes used violence to get their message across. A congress of nine colonies met in New York to discuss the taxes at the Stamp Act Congress. They decided that only colonial governments should tax the colonies and they sent a request to King George III to repeal the act. Benjamin Franklin, representing Pennsylvania, spoke before Parliament and urged them to repeal the act so that colonists could end the boycott and prevent a possible revolution. ]]> 2016-12-07 18:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mittlemana22/qjfreceimg73/wish/142387594 adamica22 https://padlet.com/mittlemana22/qjfreceimg73/wish/142391137 2016-12-07 18:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mittlemana22/qjfreceimg73/wish/142391137 gordonj22 https://padlet.com/mittlemana22/qjfreceimg73/wish/142394235 Summary of Stamp Act]]> 2016-12-07 19:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mittlemana22/qjfreceimg73/wish/142394235 mittlemana22 https://padlet.com/mittlemana22/qjfreceimg73/wish/142436225 Image of the Stamp Act]]> 2016-12-07 22:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mittlemana22/qjfreceimg73/wish/142436225 gordonj22 https://padlet.com/mittlemana22/qjfreceimg73/wish/142446467 2016-12-08 00:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mittlemana22/qjfreceimg73/wish/142446467
