Correspondence Committees were a form of government that patriots formed in times of trouble, prior to the American Revolution of the Thirteen Colonies. It was a way of spreading information among the settlers, since there were Correspondence Committees in all the cities of the colonies. The first was created in Boston in 1772, and they were not secret or clandestine, since they were used to deal with issues of settlers and the British government. For the future American Independence, meetings of the citizens, as well as the collective resistance and the correspondence of the colonists, were of great importance; hence the name of the committees.
