Townshend Acts
The Townshend Acts were taxes on paint, oil, glass, paper, lead, and tea. These were another way of taxing the colonies without their notice. This eventually lead to the end of British trade, and British merchants began making more business. The Townshend Acts were developed by Charles Townshend in 1767. These laws were passed after the Stamp Act was taken away. Samuel Adams and Charles Dickinson
were writers. They got the word out among the colonies about the unfair taxation without representation. Merchants and colonist boycotted the British goods again. The boycott affected the British trade. In 1770, the majority of the acts were withdrawn, except the Tea Act. This would later lead to the Boston "Tea Party."
