∙ 13y ago
The Townshend Acts of 1767 put taxes on imports of glass, lead, paints, paper, and tea. The colonists reacted by boycotting the imports, so England eventually repealed the acts, except for the tax on tea. Later, the tax on tea led to the Tea Act of 1773, leading to the Boston Tea Party, and eventually the war.
