The Townshend Acts were a series of measures, passed by the British Parliament in 1767, that taxed goods imported to the American colonies.

The British sent troops to America to enforce the unpopular new laws, further heightening tensions between Great Britain and the American colonies in the run-up to the American Revolutionary War.
