jun 15, 1767 - TOWNSHEND ACT
June 15, 1767
Description:
The British enforced this act to get money out of the colonists for the wars and to strengthen enforcement of commercial regulations establishing a new board of customs commissioners in America. The Colonists responded to this enforcement by not paying taxes to the colonial government, signing petitions, created domestic products (such as homespun clothes to boycott British goods). Colonial merchants in Pennsylvania and New York also agreed for non-importation agreement against the British.
