What caused the colonists to boycott English goods?

Actually, they didn't boycott goods as much as it seems. They did what we would do and that is to look for the cheaper price. One of the goods involved was tea. Many goods the colonist bought were from colonial smugglers because they were cheaper. When the British lowed the price of the tea it made the Dutch tea higher in price so the smugglers were loosing money. Two of the biggest smugglers were Hancock and Hamilton . Hancock supported, organizesd and paid for the Son's of Liberty. This was an economic issue and the smugglers were fighting for their lives.

Why did some colinists support a boycott of English goods?

Some colonists supported a boycott of English goods as a form of protest against British taxation and policies that they viewed as unfair, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. They believed that boycotting would economically pressure Britain to repeal these laws and recognize their rights. Additionally, the boycott fostered a sense of unity among the colonies and encouraged the growth of local industries as an alternative to imported goods. This collective action was seen as a necessary step towards achieving independence and asserting their rights as Englishmen.
