B) attacking British soldiers in Charles Town.
C) sending delegates to New York to discuss further action.
D) sending the colonial governor to London to talk to King George III.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Sending delegates to New York to discuss further action.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Stamp Act was issued in 1765 through this the British Crown imposed different taxes on the colonies and forced them to use paper that was produced in Britain. Due to this, the Stamp Act led to discomfort and opposition from colonists who believed the imposition of taxes and restrictions were unfair. In the case of South Carolina, this act led to protests in the colony and later made colonists send delegates to represent South Carolina in during a meeting of the Sons of Liberty in New York that included delegates from the colonies that gathered to decide the actions and position of the colonies towards the actions of Great Britain.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Following Parliament's passage of the Stamp Act, South Carolina reacted by sending delegates to New York to discuss further action.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 1760s, a series of laws passed by the United Kingdom, which instituted various taxes and diminished the independence of the Thirteen Colonies in relation to the metropolis, upset most of the population, which until then was, in its most, loyal to the British. After the institution of these laws, the population of South Carolina was divided into two groups: the Whigs, which supported the independence of the Thirteen Colonies, and the Tories, loyal to the British crown.

The Whigs, who were the majority, sent delegates to New York in order to discuss with members of the other colonies ways to counteract the harmful measures taken by the Parliament, which eventually ended up in the independence of the United States.
