The Sugar Act came at a time of economic depression, and was not received well by colonists. Samuel Adams forged ahead as the mouthpiece for the colonist displeasure.<\/p>\n
The Sugar Act was passed by Parliament on 5 April 1764, and it arrived in the colonies at a time of economic depression. This was an indirect tax, but the colonists felt it very much. And as a result, the colonists began to protest the impact on their wallets. The anger that the colonists held regarding this tax was all about the money, not about representation at this time.<\/p>\n
The two primary leaders of the protests were Samuel Adams and James Otis. Adams wrote a report on the Sugar Act in which he denounced the act as an infringement on the rights of colonists as British subjects. As a result, in August of 1764 fifty Boston merchants agreed to stop purchasing luxury goods from England. And in New York there was a movement to begin manufacturing more colonial based goods.<\/p>\n
The Sugar Act was repealed in 1766 and replaced with The Revenue Act after the severe protests that resulted from the Stamp Act of 1765.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
