Charles "Turnip" Townshend (1674-1741) was an agriculturist who introduced English farmers to the farming method of crop rotation. His actions contributed to the Agricultural Revolution in Great Britain during the eighteenth century.
Charles Townshend (1725-1767) was a British member of Parliament. He created the Townshend Acts, which were despised by Americans. They included the tax on tea. His actions helped lead to the Revolutionary War.
The significance of the Townshend Act is that it established non-importation agreements that quickly spread throughout the colonies. British trade soon dried up and the powerful merchants of Britain once again interceded on behalf of the colonies.
