Britain partially repealed the Townshend acts on March 5, 1770. The act was fully repealed a month later.
Parliament decided to repeal the Townshend Act in 1770 because of the negative impact it had on trade and the economy, as well as the growing resistance and protests from the American colonies.
The colonists expected Great Britain to repeal the intolerable acts because the colonists said that they had no representatives in congress. Taxation without representation is unfair, they declared. The tea tax was the next tax put upon the colonists by the British....This, in turn, led to the Boston Tea Party.
The purpose of the colonists' boycott was to protest against British taxation and policies that they deemed unjust, such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. By refusing to purchase British goods, the colonists aimed to exert economic pressure on Britain to repeal these taxes and recognize their rights. The boycott was a unifying strategy that helped galvanize colonial resistance and foster a sense of solidarity among the colonies. Ultimately, it laid the groundwork for further actions leading to the American Revolution.
The British Parliament finally decided to repeal the Stamp Act after merchants pledged to boycott British goods. The Stamp Act would later be replaced with the Townshend Acts.
The townshend acts were repealed because the colonists didn't believe they should be taxed on every little thing.
The Boston Massacre. :)
The colonists were angry because of the famous line "no taxation without representation." Britain kept passing acts and the colonists had no say. The Sugar Act and Townshend Acts had been passed before the Stamp Act. In the end, Britain did repeal (get rid of) the Stamp Act, but then passed an act requiring the colonists to house British soldiers.
