If it wasn't for the Townshend acts we would not have fought back against Britain and we would not have become a country.

The Revenue Act of 1767, also referred to as the Townshend Duties, taxed glass, lead, paint, paper, and tea coming into the Anglo-American colonies. That year, wealthy landowners in Britain had used their political influence to cut their taxes by a fourth, causing a massive deficit in the British treasury. Chancellor Charles Townshend made up for this deficit via the Revenue Act.

In reality, the duties brought in very little revenue, with the exception of the taxes on tea. All they really did was provoke the colonists. Assemblies all over the colonies denounced the Act, calling for its repeal. Yet another boycott of British goods was enacted, which motivated merchants in Britain to push for the repeal of the Act as well. All this tension led to violence in the colonies, culminating in the Boston Massacre in March 1770. Parliament relented and repealed most of the Townshend Duties.

What dont the maya and inca not have in common?
SashulF [63]
Both the Maya and the Inca had similar social stuctures;

men and women were to be considered close to equal, though, in some instinces, women were still lesser to men. Both drained swamps and carved terraces for agriculture, which they depended on heavily, like all other ancient civilizations in the Americas.

The Maya and Inca both shared a similar calender system, though, the Inca calender was a bit more complicated, and both civilizations built great stone monuments.

Plus, they practiced metallurgy, sacraficial rituals, and polytheism

What is the ultimate goal of Hinduism?
Flauer [41]
The answer is C because Brahman or the Supreme Self is beyond time and space, causation. He is limitless. He is tranquil. He shines with equal effulgence in all bodies. He cannot be any particular thing. He is chaitanya or pure consciousness. He is the jewel of jewels. He is the imperishable, inexhaustible supreme wealth, which no dacoit can rob.

A supreme principle exists. It is Atman. It is Para Brahman. It is imperishable, unborn, undecaying and undying. It is ancient. It is one. It is a mass of wisdom and bliss
