Committees of Correspondence
Committees of Correspondence were created to distribute revolutionary propaganda throughout the colonies. In 1772, Sam Adams organised for a permanent Committee of Correspondence to be set up for Massachusetts. This enabled inter-colonial communication and cooperation. This allowed for the organisation of the Continental Congress and greater unity of the 13 states.
