It begins before Great Britain in 1764 initiated parliamentary taxation of America, and ends in 1774 with Americans declaring that the Sugar Act infringed upon and violated the rights of the colonists. There were three acts passed by Parliament--in 1733, 1764, and 1766--that established trade regulations and levied duties on products imported into the British North American colonies. Each act was, in its own time, called the Sugar Act. American protests to the Sugar Act duties and regulations laid the foundation for the persistent and often violent protests against the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. Understanding the long Sugar Act controversy provides insight into events of the decade of crises beginning in 1764"--Page vii. 650 0 $a Sugar $x History $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Causes. $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $x Causes. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Foreign relations $z United States. 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 830 0 $a Journal of the American Revolution book. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032623.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907012436.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E01DB57EE97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
