Liberty Teas and Nervous Collectors: The Townshend Acts in Boston From the emergence of "homegrown" industries in response to British taxes on imports, to harassment of officials by the Sons of Liberty, the Townshend Acts set the stage for tensions that would erupt in 1770 with the Boston Massacre.
