The Townshend Acts, passed by the British Parliament in 1767, imposed taxes on various imported goods, including tea, glass, lead, paper, and paint. These acts aimed to raise revenue from the American colonies and assert British authority. The taxes met with significant resistance and contributed to growing colonial discontent, ultimately leading to protests such as the Boston Tea Party. The acts were seen as an infringement on colonial self-governance and fueled the desire for independence.
