Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Townshend Duties were a series of taxes on imported goods such as glass, lead, paint, and tea. Colonists protested against these taxes with nonimportation agreements, where they pledged to boycott British goods until the taxes were repealed. This resulted in a decrease in trade and an increase in smuggling in port cities such as Boston. Many colonists joined in these nonimportation agreements, showing their opposition to British taxation policies.
