The conservatives won out, and the delegates endorsed a series of mild resolutions objecting to the troops before disbanding on September 29, 1768.
The conservatives won out, and the delegates endorsed a series of mild resolutions before disbanding. Rather than more militant action, the convention resolved on a written objection to the impending arrival of British troops. The overall tone of the convention was considerably more conservative than that of the Boston town meeting, which had vowed to defend its rights at the utmost peril of lives and fortunes.
