The Sugar Act of 1764: This imposed a new tax on sugar and other goods imported into the colonies. It was one of several measures passed by the British Parliament to raise revenue and pay for the costs of the French and Indian War.
The Stamp Act of 1765: This required that all printed materials in the colonies be stamped with a government seal and tax paid on them. It was the first direct tax imposed on the colonies by Parliament, and it sparked widespread protests and resistance.
The Townshend Acts of 1767: This series of laws imposed duties on a variety of goods imported into the colonies, including glass, paper, and lead. It also created the American Board of Commissioners of Customs to enforce the new taxes.
The Quartering Act of 1765: This required the colonies to provide housing and supplies for British troops stationed in America. It was another unpopular measure that angered many colonists and contributed to growing tensions with the British government.
