Committees of Correspondence were created throughout the colonies so that the leaders of the the opposition the the tyranny of George III could meet.

The committees of correspondence were bodies organized by the local governments of the Thirteen colonies before the American Revolution for the purposes of coordinating written communication between and outside of the colonies. These served an important role in the Revolution, by disseminating the colonial interpretation of British actions between the colonies and to foreign governments.

The group of committees was the beginning of what later became a formal political union among the colonies.
