What are the causes and effects of the Sugar Act of 1764?

1 answer:

7 0

The Sugar Act, also known as the American Revenue Act or the American Duties Act, was a revenue-raising act passed by the Parliament of Great Britain on 5 April 1764.[1] The preamble to the act stated: "it is expedient that new provisions and regulations should be established for improving the revenue of this Kingdom ... and ... it is just and necessary that a revenue should be raised ... for defraying the expenses of defending, protecting, and securing the same."[2] The earlier Molasses Act 1733, which had imposed a tax of six pence per gallon of molasses, had never been effectively collected due to colonial evasion. By reducing the rate by half and increasing measures to enforce the tax, the British hoped that the tax would actually be collected.[3] These incidents increased the colonists' concerns about the intent of the British Parliament and helped the growing movement that became the American Revolution.[4] ( THIS IS FROM WIKIPEDIA)

At its longest point, how many miles is the yamato core area

tia_tia [17]

Answer: 101 miles

The Yamato Core is a shallow ice core in the eastern region of Antarctica. The Yamato Mountains were first observed and photographed from the air in 1960 by an expedition team from Belgium, who named the mountains the Queen Fabiola Mountains, after the Queen of Belgium at that time. The Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition made the first visit and geological exploration of the mountains a few months later, in 1960, and gave the name Yamato Mountains to the region.
