Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Committees of Safety were established by the Continental Congress in 1774 as a way to promote unity among colonists and to take action against those deemed enemies of liberty, such as British officials or Loyalists. They served as local organizations responsible for coordinating and overseeing the enforcement of boycotts, recruitment of troops, and the gathering of military supplies. Their actions were part of the broader effort by the Continental Congress to resist British rule and ultimately declare independence.
