They were in opposition to the Townshend's Acts imposed by British Palliament on the 13 Colonies. Their purpose was to raise revenue to pay for the heavy cost of keeping an Arny in place in the American Colonies and were also intended to restrict trade and smuggling into the colonies. They were opposed by the colonists and led to the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution on the premise that taxation without Representation were affront to the British Citizens in America. The letters by John Dickinson forsaw a justification for the colonies to break away from the mother country if "further submission will be destructive to their happiness."
