Virginia Association August 1774

<p>A meeting of Virginia delegates in Williamsburg from August 1-6, 1774, resulted in this association to restrict trade between Virginia and Great Britain. Williamsburg printer Clementina Rind printed it as a broadside, and the resolutions were also published in the Rind and Purdie and Dixon editions of the August 11, 1774, <em>Virginia Gazette</em>. The delegates of the First Continental Congress found this association to be so effective they used it as the basis for their association adopted later that year, on October 20th.</p>
