This act aimed to raise revenue in the American colonies to cover the costs of their defense and protection, emphasizing Britain’s control over colonial trade.

Specific duties were placed on goods like sugar, indigo, coffee, wine, silk, and textiles imported into the American colonies, especially if they were from foreign (non-British) sources.

Sugar Ac

The act was created to impose taxes and duties on goods in the American colonies to generate revenue for Britain.

The revenue collected was intended to cover the expenses of defending, protecting, and securing the colonies.

Specific goods such as sugar, indigo, coffee, and foreign-made items (like French wine and Persian silks) were taxed.

It sought to regulate trade between Britain and its colonies by encouraging commerce while discouraging smuggling and clandestine trading.

This act marked an early instance of British attempts to raise revenue directly from the colonies, which contributed to colonial discontent and eventually the American Revolution.
