Townshend Acts:

Officially called the Townshend Revenue Acts, these were created after the repeal of the Stamp Act. There was not much widespread opposition at first due to the fact that it was a tax (custom) placed on certain external goods (for example: paper, glass, lead, etc.) which had been accepted before. However, it soon became widely perceived as just another way for the British government to get revenue from the colonies which lead to boycotts and protests. The money being raised was to be used to pay for the British Royal Officers stationed in the colonies.
