Sugar Act

April, 5, 1764 was the day when Parliament issued a modified version of the sugar and molasses which was about to expire. This act means that the colonists have to pay six pence of tax for every gallon of foreign molasses. But because of corruption the they mostly evaded and undercut the intention of the tax. The sugar act cut the tax on molasses from 6 pence to 3 pence. Still, this means that more foreign items will be taxed on such as wine, coffee, pimiento, and later lumber and iron. Through all that happened this and the currency act will cause revolt at the imposition of the stamp act.
