[Answer] 8. During the 1760s, in response to the Townshend Acts, the Daughters of Liberty began to spin their own cloth, which they called "home spun." Why were these home-made creations important?

...1. The cloth was more resistant to water 2. They symbolized the colonists' refusal to buy British materials 3. The garments made from the cloth served as body protection for the colonists during harsh weather 4. The profits made from selling the cloth made women wealthy During the 1760s, the colonists again stopped drinking British tea and they also refused to buy British cloth. Wearing homespun rather than British cloth became a sign of patriotism. "Patriotism" means love of country and willingness to make sacrifices for it. Throughout the many colonies, the Sons of Liberty also supported the boycotts. Imports from Britain greatly declined in 1769.
