Reactions to the letter brought heightened tensions between the British Parliament and Massachusetts, and resulted in the military occupation of Boston by the British Army, which contributed to the coming of the American Revolution. ==Background== After the Stamp Act was repealed in 1766,〔Gordon S. Wood, ''The American Revolution: A History'' (New York: Modern Library, 2002), 30.〕 the British Parliament imposed the Townshend Acts as another way of generating revenue. The acts placed an import duty on glass, paint, paper, lead, and tea as well as establishing an American Board of Customs.〔Joseph C. Morton, ''The American Revolution'' (Westport, Conn: Greenwood Press, 2003), 24.〕 In response, the Massachusetts General Court issued a circular letter. (A circular letter, also known as a circular, is a letter meant to be widely distributed, or "circulated".) The Massachusetts Circular Letter was sent to the representative bodies of the other colonies. Massachusetts received positive responses from New Jersey, Connecticut, and the Virginia House of Burgesses.〔Robert Middlekauff, ''The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789'' (New York: Oxford University Press, 1982), 161.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Massachusetts Circular Letter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
