5 apr 1764 anni - The Sugar Act
Descrizione:
The Sugar Act had a couple different purposes. The act reduced the tax on molasses, but started new taxes for other products such as wines, coffee, cambric and printed calico. It was also meant to stop trade between New England and the Middle Colonies and the French, Dutch and Spanish in the West Indies. It also controlled the exportation of timber and iron. The idea of "no taxation with representation" became very prominent.
