The Townshend Acts, enacted in 1767, imposed duties on imported goods such as glass, tea, paper, and paint, aiming to raise revenue for Britain and assert its authority over the American colonies. They sparked widespread protests and resistance, leading to boycotts of British goods and increased tensions between colonists and British authorities. The Acts contributed to the growing sentiment for independence and ultimately helped unify the colonies against perceived British oppression. This unrest culminated in events like the Boston Massacre and laid the groundwork for the American Revolution.
