Question

Which colonial group was formed first? First Continental Congress Committees of Correspondence Stamp Act Congress Olive Branch Committee

Answer 1

B. The Committees of Correspondence is the correct answer

The Committees of Correspondence was formed in 1764.

This was formed before ANY of the other options. Here's proof:

• The Stamp Act Congress was formed in 1765

• The First Continental Congress was formed in 1774

• The Olive Branch Committee was formed in 1775

All of these were clearly formed after 1764, which was when The Committees of Correspondence was formed.

(If you think I made these dates up, then look them up yourselves!!)

Answer 2

The First Continental Congress met in 1774, while the Committees of Correspondence were in 1773. The Stamp Act Congress was 1765, while the Olive Branch Committee was 1775. This means that the Stamp Act Congress formed before all the rest.
