The Townshend Act, also known as the revenue act of 1767, was the first in a set of acts created by Charles Townshend. This act placed taxes on paper, paint, led, glass, NT that could only be imported from Britain. It was thought that these taxes were indirect enough that colonists would accept them; however, many believe this was a landmark act that led to the beginning stages of the American Revolution.
