Who was the new Prime Minister advocating for the repeal of the Townshend Acts?

The new Prime Minister advocating for the repeal of the Townshend Acts was Lord Frederick North. He took office in 1770, during a time when colonial resistance to British taxation was growing. The Townshend Acts, which imposed duties on various goods imported to the colonies, had led to increased tension and protests from American colonists. Recognizing the economic difficulties these taxes were causing, both for the colonies and for the British economy due to boycotts and reduced trade, North proposed to repeal most of the duties in an effort to ease tensions and restore order. His approach emphasized a more conciliatory strategy towards the colonies, reflecting the changing political climate and the mounting pressures from colonial resistance.
