New Taxes Upset Colonies

In 1764 the colonial merchants are now rich. There was a new minister called George Grenville wich he proposed on getting money by enforcing the laws. There was a law known as Sugar Act wich lower the price of colasses, molasses come from the sugar cane. He created courts to that can be named as jails too because they consisted on getting the bad guys and putting them inside the courts.



There were creations of new acts like for example:
Stamp act: Required all printed things had to have a stmp. If you disobey you would be punished.
