Question

True or False: The Townshend Acts were a direct response by the British government to the Boston Tea Party.

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the Townshend Acts—except for the tax on tea—were repealed in April 1770. The tax on tea would remain a flashpoint and a contributing factor to the Boston Tea Party of 1773, in which angry colonists destroyed an entire shipment of tea in Boston Harbor.
