The Stamp Act, among others, increased taxes on the colonists without them having any say over it. "Taxation without representation" was a major grievance of the colonists.
The American colonists formed a resistance movement to resist the policies of the British Parliament. One of the most notable organizations that emerged was the Sons of Liberty, which sought to oppose British taxation and other measures that they viewed as oppressive. Other forms of resistance also included boycotts, protests, and eventually the American Revolution.
Colonial responses to British actions included organized protests, such as the Boston Tea Party, where colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor to oppose the Tea Act. Additionally, the formation of the Continental Congress allowed colonies to coordinate their resistance and articulate their grievances against British policies. Finally, widespread boycotts of British goods emerged as a means to resist taxation and assert economic independence.
The colonists planned to attack the British on their way back to Boston by utilizing their knowledge of the terrain and employing guerrilla tactics. They aimed to ambush the British troops as they marched back, taking advantage of the element of surprise. By using hit-and-run strategies, the colonists intended to disrupt the British supply lines and inflict casualties while minimizing their own risks. This approach reflected their growing organization and determination to resist British authority.

In 1775, the British forbade the colonists from meeting in their elected Assemblies as part of their efforts to suppress dissent and maintain control over the increasingly rebellious colonies. The British government viewed these assemblies as a threat to their authority, especially following events like the Boston Tea Party and growing calls for independence. By limiting political gatherings, they aimed to curb the colonists' ability to organize and resist British rule. This move ultimately fueled further resentment and contributed to the push for independence.

Arthur Iredell, a North Carolina judge and politician, supported the boycott of British tea in protest of the Tea Act imposed by the British government. He believed in the rights of the colonies to resist unjust taxation and showed solidarity with the cause of the American colonists in opposing British policies.
The Sons of Liberty were a group of American colonists formed in the mid-1700s to oppose British taxation and policies, notably the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. They employed protests, demonstrations, and sometimes violent actions to resist British control. The Daughters of Liberty, formed alongside them, were women who supported the boycott of British goods and promoted American-made products, playing a crucial role in the American Revolution by organizing efforts such as spinning bees to produce textiles. Together, both groups exemplified grassroots resistance against British authority.

During the events leading up to the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, the British forces were primarily searching for hidden military supplies, such as weapons and ammunition, that the American colonists had been stockpiling in preparation for a potential conflict with the British government. The British hoped to seize these supplies to prevent the colonists from using them to resist British authority. Additionally, the British were also aiming to capture key Patriot leaders, such as Samuel Adams and John Hancock, who were known to be in the area.
