1 jan 1764 ano - 1764 Britain Passes Sugar Act

Descrição:

1764
Britain passes the Sugar Act, a refinement of the Molasses Act of 1733, designed to eliminate illegal sugar trade between Massachusetts and the Continental Colonies, and the West Indies. The Sugar Act is also more effective than the Molasses Act because it cuts the tax on molasses in half - meaning that paying the tax is cheaper than avoiding it by smuggling. Still, colonists continue to shout “No taxation without representation” at town meetings and in city-wide protests.
