The British falsely believed that the colonists had objected to the Stamp Act of 1766 because it was a direct on internal tax. Therefore, they believed colonists would accept external or indirect taxes on imports. The Townshend Acts imposed new duties on products such as tea, lead and paint.
in these acts the british leaders tried to avoid some of the promblems the stamp acts caused.
The colonies didnt think they should have to pay taxes like a British subject without a representative in Parlaiment like a British subject gets.
they felt that the TownShend Acts threatened their rights and freedom
They would stop trade with all british. They destroyed british goods in the colonies. They basically rebeled.Vowed to not imprt British goods.
I think you are confused because it was not up to the colonists to protect British rule. It was up to the British forces.
How do you think British colonists evolved from being loyal British citizens to revolutionaries? Why?
The Townshend Acts didn't lead to the Civil War.The Townshend Acts were passed by the British Parliament before the American Revolution; long story short, they tried to raise taxes on the American Colonists, and the American Colonists didn't think it was fair for Parliament to raise taxes on them but they couldn't vote in Parliament's elections- "no taxation without representation", as the saying goes.So the Townshend Acts were one of the major contributing factors to the start of the American Revolution, not the US Civil War. You could make the case that without the Townshend Acts, there wouldn't have been a USA and then the USA couldn't have had its Civil War.
They thought it was fair to tax the colonists.
The British did not at all approve of the way the colonists were fighting. Colonists were using what is known as guerilla tactics. The British believed in open fighting, in lines, on fields. The colonists were attacking from cover, and quickly disappearing. The British found this ungentlemanly.
If you mean England, the colonists hated the new laws because of the taxes the British were dumping on the colonists and how British was trying to control them. the 13 colonies eventually didn't like the british acts so much that they rebeled.
