What were nonimportation agreements?
Nonimportation agreements were economic boycotts adopted by American colonists in the 1760s and 1770s as a form of protest against British taxation and trade policies, particularly in response to the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. By pledging not to import British goods, the colonists aimed to undermine British economic interests and assert their rights.
