The homespun movement was started in 1767 by Quakers in Boston, Massachusetts, to encourage the purchase of goods, especially apparel, manufactured in the American Colonies.[1] The movement was created in response to the British Townshend Acts of 1767 and 1768, in the early stages of the American Revolution.[2][3]
