The British Acts of 1768, particularly the Townshend Acts, were driven by the need for Britain to generate revenue following the costly French and Indian War. These acts imposed taxes on various goods imported to the American colonies, such as tea, glass, and paper, which sparked widespread resentment among colonists who believed they were being taxed without representation. The colonial backlash included protests and boycotts, escalating tensions between Britain and its American colonies. Ultimately, these acts contributed to the growing sentiment for independence among colonists.
Britain partially repealed the Townshend acts on March 5, 1770. The act was fully repealed a month later.
The colonists refused to pay anything, and stopped buying things.
