Stamp Act.
Sugar and Molasses Act.
The tax enacted in 1764 to help pay for colonial defense was called the Sugar Act. It was levied on imported goods, such as molasses and sugar, that were commonly used in the colonies. The act was met with resistance from the colonists, who argued that they lacked representation in the British Parliament and should not be subject to taxation without consent.
The colonial response to the Stamp Act of 1765 was one of widespread opposition and protest. Colonists argued that the Act violated their rights as Englishmen, particularly the principle of "no taxation without representation," since they had no representatives in Parliament. This led to the formation of groups like the Sons of Liberty, organized protests, and boycotts of British goods. Ultimately, the backlash contributed to the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766, highlighting the growing tension between the colonies and Britain.
