jun 29, 1767 - Townshend Duties
Description:
In 1767, Townshend passed a law taxing imports of several products. This, like the Stamp Act, left the colonists feeling like their rights had been taken from them and they were being taxed without consent. This act led internal governments to encourage the resistance of all taxes, leading to colonial boycotts.
