∙ 14y agoSoon after the Stamp Act crisis, Parliament
passed a set of laws in 1767 that came to be
known as the Townshend Acts. In these acts the
British leaders tried to avoid some of the problems
the Stamp Act caused. They understood
that the colonists would not tolerate internal
taxes-those levied or paid inside the colonies.
As a result the new taxes applied only to
imported goods, with the tax being paid at the
port of entry. The goods taxed, however,
included basic items-such as glass, tea, paper,
and lead-that the colonists had to import
because they did not produce them.
