 | | Committees of correspondence had been formed to exchange information and ideas and to build colonial unity, and in 1774 these committees prepared the way for the Continental Congress | | | The leaders in the new country were those prominent either in the council halls or on the fields of the Revolution, and the first three Presidents after the Constitution of the United States | | | Some of the more radical Revolutionary leaders were disappointed in the turn toward conservatism when the Revolution was over, but liberty and democracy had been fixed as the highest ideals of the United States. |

| | They clearly establish the link between the Gaspee and the colonies Committees of Correspondence (as does the correspondence of Samuel Adams on the subject, who claimed the same distinction of originating the idea). | | | While a Continental Congress would soon overshadow the Committees of Correspondence, they symbolized a spirit of union which had not been present in the previous crises. | | | The first step in this consolidation was the Committees of Correspondence which were formed to exchange information and urge united action by the colonies. |

| | The split of the Committees of Correspondence from the Communist Party USA was a consequence of insufficient party democracy; in 1990, National Board member Charlene Mitchell complained that the party lacked sufficient internal discussion and accountability. | | | The Committees of Correspondence believed the problems with their and all other Communist Parties originated in the Stalin era, when the leadership became independent and self-perpetuating; Gus Hall's group believed the problems with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union lay entirely with Gorbachev's reforms. | | | The Committees of Correspondence received much of its initial gravitas from Gil Green, a Communist Party USA Politboro member who was jailed under the Smith Act for several years in the 1950s. |

| | It used to be said, even by Virginia writers, that Massachusetts was entitled to equal honor with Virginia in originating the Committees of Correspondence. | | | But this statement was due to confounding two different things, the origination of local Committees of Correspondence within a colony, and the ongination of Committees of Correspondence between the colonies themselves. | | | On the 6th the Committee of Correspondence ordered the letters which had been received from the different colonies "to be laid before the House of Burgesses now sitting,'' and on the 25th it took similar action with respect to the letter from the New Jersey committee, the last one received. |
