29 giug 1767 anni - townshend act
Descrizione:
The Townshend Acts were British laws passed in 1767, imposing new taxes on imported goods to the American colonies. The revenue was intended to pay colonial governors and judges' salaries. However, American colonists opposed these taxes, viewing them as a form of taxation without representation. Protests and boycotts led to the repeal of most of the Acts in 1770, but the tea tax remained, playing a role in the events leading up to the American Revolution.Aggiunto al nastro di tempo:
