∙ 11y agoThe British Parliament passed the Townshend Acts in 1767, authorizing the collection of taxes in the colonies on glass, lead, paint, paper, and tea. Colonists reacted to the Townshend Acts by boycotting goods, refusing to provide living quarters for British troops, and signing non-importation pacts in which they agreed not to buy or import British goods. They also resorted to mob violence against those sympathizing with the government or attempting to carry out the Acts.
