Episode 10 • Pushed to the Limit – The Townshend Acts, Quartering Act, and Boston’s Breaking Point

Patriot Power Podcast: American Revolution • Colonies to Independence • Founding Fathers and More

Hello Fellow Patriots!

It's hard to fathom that England continued, time and time again, to impose Acts (laws, taxes, show of power) on the colonists. I understand that being in "control' of the colonies from 3,000 miles away was tough, but they continued to declare and enforce (or try to) Act after Act after Act. We are at the point of the story where it's about to explode into violence.

In this show I cover some of the Acts, the response and results from them, and one in particular that made Boston reach their limits.

Hang on tight, tensions are at the max and my next show is going to cover the occupation of Boston and the Boston Massacre.
