This act caused the colonists to become angry. They wanted a representative in Parliament. It could be said that the Sugar Act started the anger that in the end gained the USA it's freedom.

The Sugar Act was passed by British Parliament on April 5, 1764. This act put a tax on imported sugar. The Act was repealed two years later, in 1766, but the effects of the Act were felt long after.
