In September 1774 the leaders of Suffolk County, Massachusetts,
declared the Suffolk Resolves. This declaration, introduced by
Joseph Warren (11th June, 1741 - 17th June, 1775), rejected what
were described as the Intolerable (or Coercive) Acts introduced by
the British Government in an attempt to quash resistance in the
colonies by making an example of Massachusetts. The Suffolk
Resolves denounced the acts and pledged to refuse to pay taxes and
to boycott British imports until they were repealed.
