What is the history of the Sugar Act?

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 The Act was repealed two years later, in 1766, but the effects of the Act were felt long after. The Sugar Act was only one of many laws passed by Parliament that caused unease among Americans. Eventually, with the later Stamp Act, the American colony began actively revolting against being taxed without having a voice in Parliament, and the riots eventually led to the American Revolution.
