Molasses
Leading up the the molasses act of 1733, there were two rivaling trade companies that battled for America's business: the French West Indies and the British West Indies. Since Britain maintained control over America at the time, the British Parliament instituted the Molasses Act of 1733 over America so all molasses and sugar products that were not manufactured by Britain would be taxed 6 pence per gallon. Therefore, people wouldn't buy molasses from the French Indies because it would be more expensive, so they would buy it from the British Indies & the British would be more successful.
