The Boston Massacre in 1770 prompted Parliament to repeal most of the Townshend acts except for the tax on tea.
The Sons of Liberty showed their opposition by dumping more than 300 crates of tea into the Boston Harbor, which led to the Intolerable Acts.

The leaders of the opposition were Samuel Adams and John Dickinson. Colonists were infuriated by these taxes and their boycott of British goods forced King George to repeal the Stamp Act.
The Townsend Acts pertained to the British Colonies in 1767 (The entire east coast of North America). The biggest thing you will hear about the Townsend Acts is the Boston Tea Party, which was a boycott of the restriction put in place by the Townsend Acts.

The opposition of the thirteen American colonies to the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Townsend Acts was based on their claim that Britain was imposing taxation without representation. Colonists argued that they should not be taxed by a Parliament in which they had no elected representatives. This principle of "no taxation without representation" fueled widespread dissent and contributed to the growing desire for independence. Ultimately, these grievances helped to unite the colonies against British rule.
