17 mai 1733 - Molasses Act 1733
Description:
A 6 pence per gallon tax on imports of molasses from non-English colonies. The tax was unpopular among the colonists and molasses was frequently smuggled to avoid paying it. It was later repealed and replaced by the Sugar Act, which cut the tax but was more strongly enforced.Ajouté au bande de temps:
