Remember to include a self-addressed stamped envelope and to affix tax stamps on all correspondence and both envelopes. I look forward to taxing—I mean talking to—you! British Acts Passed by Parliament on the British Colonies Sugar Act of 1764 Amended and replaced the Molasses Act of 1733; it required more duties on imports of molasses/sugar and prohibited ships from transporting commodities directly to the colonies--ships from the Caribbean had to sail to Great Britain, unload their cargo, pay a duty, reload, and then sail to the colonies. The purpose was to ensure the Navigation Acts were enforced.
Stamp Act of 1765 Required the purchase of stamps to be placed on certain documents; its purpose was to raise money for Great Britain, which was the first of its kind. Colonists tolerated the trade acts because they were still earning money as well. This tax, however, was against the colonists directly.
Quartering Act of 1765 Colonial assemblies had to provide housing, food, and drink to British troops stationed in their towns to decrease the cost to Great Britain.
