Why did the committee of corresponding occur?

The Committees of Correspondence were established in the American colonies in the early 1770s as a response to increasing British oppression and taxation, particularly following events like the Stamp Act and the Intolerable Acts. Their primary purpose was to facilitate communication and coordination among the colonies to organize resistance against British policies. These committees helped to unify colonial opposition, spread revolutionary ideas, and lay the groundwork for collective action, ultimately contributing to the American Revolution.
