Some colonists resorted to smuggling in order to get around the Navigation Acts. They were a series of acts that restricted foreign shipping for trade between the colonies and England.
Smuggling
Most colonists smuggled goods because they felt they were being unfairly taxed by the British Empire and this was a way to get around it.
Colonists in Boston decided to protest the townshend acts. They called for a boycott of British goods. Samuel Adams led the boycott.
Some reasons of why the colonists rebelled against the British were: 1. The Boston Massacre 2. Taxation without Representation 3. Intolerable Acts 4. Proclamation of 1763 5. The Stamp Act 6. The Quartering Acts 7. The Sugar act
The Navigation Acts benefited England by promoting the growth of its maritime industry. The acts required that goods be transported on English ships, stimulating demand for English-built ships and creating jobs in the shipbuilding sector. Additionally, the acts allowed England to maintain control over its colonial possessions and regulate trade, ensuring a steady flow of resources and wealth back to the country.

After the Boston Tea Party, the British clamped down on the Massachusetts colony, and passed what came to be known as the Intolerable Acts. Most colonists were outraged by them; they seemed far too harsh and unjust: colonists felt that the acts strangled commerce and trade, and treated the people of Massachusetts like convicted criminals. Some of the colonists mounted protests, and many refused to comply with these new laws. A few of the more influential colonists, including John Hancock, even wrote to the royal authorities to demand that these acts be repealed immediately. But when nothing seemed to work, the Intolerable Acts led the colonists to decide a revolution was necessary.
they made the navigation act that said that England get some of the profit
(Some one put pokemon here so I erased it, sorry but look at other links!)
The Townsend Acts really miffed some colonists. They revolted. But they were also afraid of being caught or blamed. So they dressed up like Indians and dumped tea into the harbor; they could then blame Native Americans as being the scoundrels, not the colonists, who would be punished, perhaps hung for being unruly to the King's authority.
The Navigation Acts occured throughout the late 17th century. If America was to trade with another foreign country i.e. The Netherlands, Scotland, etc. they would first have to give some of the traded profit to the British, because Great Britain allowed America to use their ships. There were 6 acts in total, the first being in 1651 and the last occurring in 1663.
