Why did the sugar act angered the colonists ?

1 answer:

5 0

The sugar act put a three-cent tax on foreign refined sugar and increased taxes on coffee, indigo, and certain kinds of wine. It banned importation of rum and French wines. These taxes affected only a certain part of the population, but the affected merchants were very vocal. Besides, the taxes were enacted (or raised) without the consent of the colonists. This was one of the first instances in which colonists wanted a say in how much they were taxed.

Why was new York an important battleground in the american revolution

atroni [7]

New York had a key strategic location and port. The British sailors docked their ships in the port and took over while George Washington (who was fighting for the colonies) narrowly escaped. Slowly, the colonists started winning battles in New York, such as the Battle of Saratoga, but often the colonists could not regain New York back and instead liberated Washington DC, then New Jersey and then they started planning on how to liberate New York, because it was difficult due to its heavy British presence.
