The boycotting of British items prior to the Revolutionary war hurt America in that as mostly Englishmen, they were used to certain things, such as tea, and sugar. Since the taxes on these items were climbing higher, the colonists chose to express themselves by boycotting these items. The colonists experimented with different types of tea substitutes, such as peppermint, sassafras, and chamomile. For sweetening, they used maple sugar, or honey. In doing so, they forced the British to take more stringent measures in solidifying their authority. This onrushing of events were to lead to the Revolutionary War.
The Sons of Liberty employed boycotting as a strategic tool to challenge British taxation and reduce the revenue flowing into the royal treasury. By organizing widespread boycotts of British goods, they aimed to create economic pressure on British merchants and manufacturers, who would then lobby the government to repeal unpopular taxes, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. These actions not only hurt the British economy but also rallied colonists around a common cause of resistance against perceived tyranny. Ultimately, the boycotts fostered a sense of unity among the colonists and contributed to the growing movement for independence.

Boycotting
A practice that was used by the colonists to hurt British trade was the refusal of British goods that were imported and the export of American goods to Britain. This was in response to the taxation on goods that the British were trying to impose on the colonies.
Boycotting is when you refuse to buy, sell, trade, or use certain products as a way of protesting. The British had a war and they needed all the supplies they would need but thry wouldn't help them.
The process is called "boycotting". (It was not called this until 1880, for the ostracism of Charles Boycott, a British land agent for landowner Lord Erne in County Mayo, Ireland.)
