These included the Committees of Correspondence, Sons of Liberty, the Second Continental Congress, and the Continental Army. In the 1700s, there were no telephones with which colonists in different locations could communicate, so Committees of Correspondence were formed to allow colonists to warn people of the arrival of the English. Many of these committees were formed by the governments of individual colonies, others by associations such as the Sons of Liberty in various communities. The Sons of Liberty were a well-known settler organization that engineered the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was the result of Parliament's heavy taxes on tea. The Sons of Liberty formed several other protest groups. Furthermore, they organized the protest against Great Britain for passing the Stamp Act in 1765. Another association was the Continental Army, created after the American Revolutionary War by the American colonies. Its purpose was to coordinate the military efforts of the Thirteen Colonies in their rebellion against Great Britain. After the army was formed, the Second Continental Congress was held, which was a meeting with delegates from the thirteen colonies. As you can see, there were many political groups during the Revolutionary War that will always remain significant in American history....... middle of the paper... we are having an argument that has caused the crowd to gather around them. The crowd soon became irritated and began throwing objects at the troops. The British fired aimlessly into the air but accidentally killed five colonists. This began the Boston Massacre. Three years later, Parliament passed the Tea Act, an act that required colonists to pay a tax every time they purchased tea. This act angered the colonists but also made them more united. On December 16, 1773, the colonists disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians, took control of the British ships, and dumped all their tea overboard in Boston Harbor. This was called the Boston Tea Party. These, among many other British-American conflicts, were the building blocks that led to the Revolutionary War. In conclusion, Patriots and Loyalists faced many difficulties with each other before the Revolutionary War and during it..
