Welcome to the
Committee of
Correspondence of Vermont! We invite you to join and help us restore,
preserve and maintain our Constitutional Republic. For information,
please contact us at the address below.
A committee of correspondence was a body organized by the local
governments of the American colonies for the purposes of coordinating
written communication outside of the colony. These served an important
role in the American Revolution and the years leading up to it,
disseminating the colonial interpretation of British actions between the
colonies and to foreign governments. The committees of correspondence
rallied opposition on common causes and established plans for collective
action, and so the network of committees were the beginning of what later
became a formal political union among the colonies.
