Which of the following was not part of the Townshend program?
Answer a tax on tea, paper, paint, lead, and glass imported into the colonies
recognition of colonial authority in providing supplies and housing for British troops
the use of tax revenues to pay the salaries of colonial governors and judges
relocation of British troops from the frontier to the major seaport cities
creation of a separate American Board of Customs Commissioners in Boston
To determine which option was not part of the Townshend program, we need to understand what the Townshend program refers to. The Townshend Acts were a series of British laws passed in 1767 that imposed taxes on various imported goods to the American colonies. These acts were named after Charles Townshend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time.
To find the answer, let's go through the options one by one:
a) "A tax on tea, paper, paint, lead, and glass imported into the colonies" - This option aligns with the Townshend program since the Townshend Acts did include taxes on these items.
b) "Recognition of colonial authority in providing supplies and housing for British troops" - This option seems unlikely as the British government did not recognize colonial authority.
c) "The use of tax revenues to pay the salaries of colonial governors and judges" - This option aligns with the Townshend program as part of the funds raised from the taxes were intended to be used for paying the salaries of colonial governors and judges.
d) "Relocation of British troops from the frontier to the major seaport cities" - This option was not part of the Townshend program. The Townshend Acts did not address the relocation of British troops.
e) "Creation of a separate American Board of Customs Commissioners in Boston" - This option aligns with the Townshend program as it established a separate American Board of Customs Commissioners in Boston.
Therefore, the answer is option d) "Relocation of British troops from the frontier to the major seaport cities" as it was not part of the Townshend program.
