About This Document: The tax on tea that Parliament had imposed in the Townshend Act in 1767, and then retained three years later when the Townshend taxes on other commodities had been lifted, was, as Unger points out, "negligible - a mere three-pence per pound. ..of a beverage consumed largely by women as 'a sign of politeness and hospitality/" After the partial repeal of the Townshend Act in 1770, the movement to boycott English goods largely collapsed, and (outside of radical circles) so did active concern about the tax on tea from England. [...] irony of ironies - and "to the consternation of many Tea Party leaders" - independence brought Americans heavier taxation.
