TheTownshend act's: Import taxes on lead, paper, tea, paint, and glass were collected at port. Revenue from the Townshend duties were used to support British troops, royal governors, and royal judges, taking the power of the purse away from colonial assemblies. The Townshend Acts also created a customs commission and suspended the New York assembly for failing to comply with the act.

The act created many boycotts and with "Letters from a farmer in Pennsylvania," being published in nine colonial news papers, which raised awareness to those colonies.
