What was the purpose of the molasses act in 1733?
Leading up the the molasses act of 1733, there were two rivaling trade companies that battled for America's business: the French West Indies and the British West Indies. Since Britain maintained control over America at the time, the British Parliament instituted the Molasses Act of 1733 over America so all molasses and sugar products that were not manufactured by Britain would be taxed 6 pence per gallon. Therefore, people wouldn't buy molasses from the French Indies because it would be more expensive, so they would buy it from the British Indies & the British would be more successful.
Where were molasses cookies made?
Back in the old county ther was a colony of moles living in the hill country just east of Riverside. Each Spring the momma mole would assert her right to be the first to smell the fresh air of spring. One year after a long cold winter she poped her head out to smell the fresh air of Spring and it smelled so wonderful. Then Poppa mole squeezed up next to her to get a breath of the fresh air. He said wow, that smells so wonderful. Down below baby mole said what's going on up there. And he climbed up to get a breath of the spring air, but the just wasn't any room for him to get past momma mile and Pappa mole.

What lowered tax on molasses to encourage payment of tax in 1764?
American importers were not paying the excessively high duty that had been placed on Sugar (molasses) by the Molasses Act of 1733. They found it cheaper to pay bribes of a penny or so per gallon, to the customs collectors. When George Grenville became Prime Minister, he had Parliament overhaul the old act with a new Sugar Act, 1764. The new act lowered the tax on sugar (molasses) entering the colonies, but it also created a new system for enforcing the act, making sure that the lowered duties would be collected. In New England, where molasses was a major trade item used in making various drinks as well as a sweetener, there was immediate concern. A Boston town meeting declared that the city would boycott (not purchase) all British imports to that colony. Other New England cities, including New York, followed Boston’s lead.
