4. Delegates considered economic boycotts of British goods and discussed the rights of the colonies. They also agreed to meet again if their demands were not met.
5. Minutemen were part - time soldiers ready to fight at a minute's notice. The Intolerable Acts led to the growth of the Minutemen movement as a response to British oppression.
6. The goal of the Minutemen against the British Redcoats was to defend their local communities, colonial rights, and liberty.
