The colonial response to Parliament’s passage of the Coercive Acts between March and June 1774 (see AMCOM Flight, 2Qtr 2024) was almost immediate. Although leery of following Boston’s proposal to cease all trade with the mother country, the other British colonies on the Atlantic seaboard agreed upon a united course of resistance similar to the joint effort in 1765 known as the Stamp Act Congress. Held in New York City from Oct. 7-25 to protest Parliament’s initial attempt to levy a direct revenue tax on them, only nine of the 13 colonies actually sent delegates to this precedent-setting meeting at the start of the escalating confrontation with the imperial government.
