Circular Letter of the Boston Committee of Correspondence; May 13, 1774

The Circular Letter of the Boston Committee of Correspondence; May 13, 1774 is a letter that was circulated around Boston by Samuel Adams. In the letter, Adams states what the British government is trying to do to them and to all the colonies. He says that the acts that Parliament passed are being used to separate the colonists. This is so that they won’t keep the sense of liberty that they have been feeling and won’t want to separate from England. Adams says that they should stop trading with England so that Parliament will realize how much the country would suffer if they didn’t have the colonies in America. He says it will be a huge sacrifice but it will be worth it if they get what they want. England will give them what they want if they stop trading with them and boycott their goods. Colonists want freedom.
