This proclamation was intended to limit the interaction of colonists and Native Americans by banning all lands west of the Appalachian Mountain Divide from settlers. This helped to protect colonists from Indian rampages and also shield Native Americans from increasingly frequent attacks by white settlers.

If the barracks were too small, however, the soldiers forced people to make enough room for them to sleep in their own houses or stores. New York colonial assembly disliked being commanded to provide housing for British troops, and would have preferred to be asked and then to give their consent, if they were going to have soldiers in their midst at all. Therefore, they refused to comply with the law, and in 1767, Parliament passed the New York Restraining Act.]]> 2017-01-31 17:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/17mia/6o54a0oq7rgz/wish/150614855 17mia https://padlet.com/17mia/6o54a0oq7rgz/wish/150622064 Parliament passed the Sugar Act on April 5, 1764 and was proposed by Prime Minister George Grenville. The proper name for the Sugar Act is The American Revenue Act of 1764. The Act was an extension of the Molasses Act (1733), which was set to end in 1763. The focus of the Sugar Act was to discourage colonial merchants and manufacturers from smuggling non-British goods to avoid taxes imposed by Parliament. The Sugar Act increased the number of items that would be taxed when they were imported to the colonies, but it actually reduced the tax on molasses and sugar from 6 pence per gallon to 3 pence per gallon.
