apr 12, 1770 - Townshend Acts Repealed

The colonists began to boycott goods that were taxed by the Townshend Acts, so Parliament repealed most of the clauses of the act to resume trade with the colonies. They did not repeal the tea tax because they did not want to seem intimidated by the colonists.Added to timeline:
