1767
In London, the British Parliament passes the Townshend Acts, imposing duties on essentials such as tea, paper, glass, and lead imported by their North American Colonies, and also allowing the quartering of British troops in the Colonies. Seething with anger and resentment - and still committed to "No taxation without representation," the Colonists respond by boycotting British goods and turning to other sources for necessary commodities.
