Explanation:

The Daughters of Liberty were American women who protested British taxation policies before the American Revolution by participating in boycotts of British goods, often by making their own textiles instead of buying British - made ones. The committees of correspondence were groups formed in the American colonies to communicate and coordinate resistance against British policies. They spread information about British actions and colonial responses, helping to unify the colonies. Benjamin Franklin served the colonies in many ways: before the Revolution, he was a diplomat in London trying to represent colonial interests; during the Revolution, he was a key figure in the Continental Congress and helped secure French support; after the Revolution, he was involved in the creation of the new nation's government.
