TheTownshend act's: Import taxes on lead, paper, tea, paint, and glass were collected at port. Revenue from the Townshend duties were used to support British troops, royal governors, and royal judges, taking the power of the purse away from colonial assemblies. The Townshend Acts also created a customs commission and suspended the New York assembly for failing to comply with the act.

The act created many boycotts and with "Letters from a farmer in Pennsylvania," being published in nine colonial news papers, which raised awareness to those colonies.

When the Townshend Acts were passed in 1767, colonial women increased their efforts in weaving as a form of protest against British taxation. By producing their own cloth, they aimed to reduce dependence on British imports, particularly tea and textiles. This movement not only demonstrated their support for the boycott but also fostered a sense of unity and identity among the colonies. Women's contributions in this regard were crucial to the broader resistance against British rule.
