History

The Townshend Duties were implemented by the British government on the American colonists as a means of generating revenue so that they can pay the salaries of British governors. This tax, like many others implemented by the British government, did not sit well with the colonists due to their lack of representation in the legislature. As a result, American colonists boycotted (refused to buy) products that were taxed thanks to the Townshend Act.

This resulted in the decreased British trade with the colonists. This decrease in trade leads the government to repeal the Townshend duties.

Pachacha [2.7K]

I believe the answer is: C) a book containing the letters of a US senator during the war.

Such letters would be considered as a primary source, which is an artifact, documents, or recordings that is made directly during the time of the event. Other sources beside primary source tend to be mixed up with opinions or even modification form other people unrelated to the events, which make them tend to not represent the truth.
