The Arizona Committee of Safety

There will be "speechifying" on the Prescott County Courthouse Steps on Patriots Day April 19th from 11 AM til 4 PM.

QuoteWhat is a "Committee of Safety"?


In colonial times, there were no formal police forces or government except by the British Crown.  However, over time the Crown's government ruled with a heavier and heavier hand.  To restore a balance, each colony assembled a "Committee of Safety" which served as an informal representational government in parallel to the authority of the British Crown.  As British taxation became more and more onerous, more colonials began to talk of open rebellion.  It was from the Committees of Safety in each colony that the first Continental Congress was formed.

I am unable to attend the Appleseed in Payson, but do intend to attend this worthy event.
