Which act is the question referring to? Assuming the question is referring to acts enacted by the British Parliament, concerning the American colonists in the "Thirteen Colonies" of British North America, colonists were often angered most by those acts which impeded their financial or physical freedoms.

Yes, the Sugar Act of 1764 angered colonists primarily because it imposed taxes on sugar and molasses imported into the colonies. While the tax rates were not excessively high, the act also aimed to enforce stricter customs regulations, which frustrated colonists who felt their economic freedom was being undermined. This resentment contributed to growing tensions between the colonies and Britain, ultimately leading to calls for greater representation and resistance against taxation without representation.
The Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Quartering Act angered the colonists by imposing taxes and regulations without their consent, violating their principle of "no taxation without representation." The Sugar Act taxed imported goods, the Stamp Act required colonists to pay for stamped paper for legal documents, and the Quartering Act mandated that they house British soldiers, all seen as direct attempts to exert control over their lives and finances. This unified opposition among the colonies, leading to protests and a growing desire for independence.
