Answer:

In 1767, Charles Townshend, Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, imposed a series of new taxes designed to raise revenue. Colonists organized boycotts of British goods to pressure Parliament to repeal the Townshend Acts.

Answer:

Like the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts produced controversy and protest in the American colonies. For a second time, many colonists resented what they perceived as an effort to tax them without representation and thus to deprive them of their liberty.
