The Townsend Acts really miffed some colonists. They revolted. But they were also afraid of being caught or blamed. So they dressed up like Indians and dumped tea into the harbor; they could then blame Native Americans as being the scoundrels, not the colonists, who would be punished, perhaps hung for being unruly to the King's authority.
The Proclamation of 1763 limited colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
The Townsend Acts, enacted in 1767, imposed duties on various imported goods, including tea, glass, and paper, aimed at raising revenue from the colonies without their consent. This sparked widespread protests and boycotts, as colonists viewed the taxes as an infringement on their rights, leading to heightened tensions between Britain and the colonies. The Acts ultimately contributed to the growing sentiment for independence, as they galvanized colonial resistance and unity against British authority. The backlash against the Townsend Acts laid the groundwork for further revolutionary actions, including the Boston Tea Party.
