Once the Sugar act was passed (1764) the colonists threw lots of smaller rebellions. Although this was not very effective, it did get the Parliament's attention. So, the colonist began a major protest which many colonies got into. They stopped using british imports all together! So now the tax was of absolutely no use to Britian. Parliament repealed the act.
