Question 24 • SD-Early US History A

How were colonial reactions to the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts, and the Tea Act similar?

Answer
A
Colonists no longer bought British goods.
B
Colonists boycotted certain British goods.
C
Colonists dumped goods in Boston Harbor.
D
Colonists refused to house British soldiers.

Explanation

Colonists protested these taxes by boycotting selected British imports, hoping that lost sales would pressure Parliament to repeal the measures. The Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Tea Act each prompted forms of nonimportation or boycotts. Dumping tea in Boston Harbor was a specific response to the Tea Act, not a shared reaction to all three.
