    The Townshend Acts were a series of laws passed by the British government on the American colonies in 1767. They placed new taxes and took away some freedoms from the colonists including the following: New taxes on imports of paper, paint, lead, glass, and tea. Established an American Customs Board in Boston to collect taxes. Set up new courts in America to prosecute smugglers (without using a local jury). Gave British officials the right to search colonists' houses and businesses.
