Great Britain was left with financial disaster following the Seven Year War. To raise money following the war they tried to impose high taxes on the colonies. This was done through the taxes charged on goods that were being shipped to the colonies. Without representation in the British Parliament Great Britain felt that this was the perfect plan.

The Sugar and Molasses Act was a tax imposed by the British Parliament on sugar and molasses imported by American colonies from non-British sources. The act was passed in 1733 as a way for Britain to raise revenue and regulate trade. It was one of several acts that eventually led to increased tensions between the American colonies and Britain, ultimately culminating in the American Revolution.

Britain raised taxes on American colonists to help pay off debts incurred during the French and Indian War and to cover the costs of maintaining a standing army in North America. The British government believed that the colonies, benefiting from British protection and infrastructure, should contribute to these expenses. This led to increased tensions, as many colonists felt they were being taxed without proper representation in Parliament, ultimately fueling the desire for independence.
