The purpose was to start a way to send information easier through out the colonies of early America. A group of officials, or delegates, from each colony came to meet and form the Committees of Correspondence. In this organization, delegates wrote letters and sent them to the other colonies on horseback so the information traveled around the colonies faster. Why should they do this? They did this because information about what the British was doing could travel to the other colonies fast. This way if the British were doing bad things the other colonies knew about it and could tell everyone in the colonies what the British were doing and that the colonies should unite and be independent. The loyalists, the colonists loyal to the king of England, could then decide to become patriots, the colonists wanting independence. The delegates hoped that sending information to the other colonies would lead loyalists into changing sides and supporting freedom for the colonies. The Committees of Correspondence either worked or did not work, I do not know, but i do know that the information did travel fast but it might not have worked with the loyalists. Hope you understand now.
The primary purpose of the Committees of Correspondence was to facilitate the exchange of information between colonies. Another function was the spreading of Propaganda.
