In 1758, Bernard was appointed Governor of New Jersey. He had to lead the province during the French and Indian War, generally maintaining a positive relationship with the legislative assembly. In 1760, Bernard was entrusted with the post of governor of Massachusetts Bay. In this colony, Francis had strained relations with the legislature. Boston, the capital of Massachusetts Bay, was the main center of resistance to the unpopular tax laws passed by the British Parliament in the 1760s. In 1768, Townshend laws were passed under which the colonists were required to pay import duties on a number of consumer goods made in Britain and imported into the colonies. Already the very first actions of the new governor turned part of the colonists against him, and his negative reaction to protests against parliament's attempts to tax the colonies further aggravated the situation. The Massachusetts House of Representatives has launched a campaign against Townshend laws by sending a petition to King George III asking it to repeal Townshend's budget revenue law. The chamber also sent to other colonial assemblies the so-called Massachusetts circular letter, urging them to join the resistance movement and boycott merchants importing goods that were subject to laws. In the United Kingdom, Lord Hillsborough, recently appointed to the newly created Minister of Colonies position, was alarmed by the activities of the Massachusetts chamber. In April 1768, he sent a letter to the governors of the colonies in America instructing them to dissolve the colonial assemblies if they joined the Massachusetts circular letter. He also ordered the Massachusetts governor Francis Bernard to force the Massachusetts House of Representatives to withdraw the letter. The chamber refused to comply. Bernard dissolved the legislature.
