Answer 2

A.Boycotting British made goods is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American revolution split the people of American colonies into two groups: The loyalists and the Patriots. The Patriots were the people who wanted the colonies to be independent of Britain and wanted their country to be called the United States. The American people felt that the British were not treating them fairly and were being taxed without any representation in the parliament. They started to demand liberty and freedom from British rule. while the faction of Americans who wanted to stay united with Britain were known as Loyalists. Many of them were afraid of the British army and were well aware that Britain was also important for trade, so they didn't want to challenge British supremacy. The patriots boycotted British goods and followed the philosophy of No Taxation without Representation.
