The Early Cold War (1947–1960)
Answer:
The main purpose of the Sugar Act of 1764 was to raise taxes on sugar.
Explanation:
The Sugar Act was sanctioned on April 5, 1764 by the English Parliament. This law replaced the Molasses Act by halving the taxes levied on molasses, but by imposing new additional taxes on sugar, and aimed at an end to smuggling and to protect English farmers based in the West Indies and for the government to win more money on sugar, which was indispensable at this time. It taxed the sugar that entered the United States of America and was not bought from the English Antilles.
The aim of the sugar law was to encourage settlers to consume only sugar directly from the English. It raised the taxes that settlers had to pay on molasses, wine, coffee, silk, white clothes, luxury goods, and linen in their ports.
The early mapmakers really had it very hard to create a proper map, as they didn't had any of the modern technology that nowadays we do. They had to rely on their orientation in the space, be able to properly adjust the distances, using only their eyes and brains. Also, they were putting into the maps areas that were told and described by them by people that were there, but they personally haven't even seen the place. The knowledge they had about the size of the world was very limited, as they were not really able to travel that much during their lifetime.
Their interpretation is usually relatively good and relatively accurate considering the circumstances. Of course there were some misjudged distances and proportions, but not by far. Since they only new so much of the world, they usually were making the map, thus the size of the world, from the eastern most location they new, to the westernmost location they new, either putting straight lines like that is the end of the world, or putting waters to mark the same.
One of the main reasons why the Reformation came about was
the practice of the Indulgence by the Catholic Church. It was a way where one can lessen the amount
of punishment through a fee or an activity. This has caused a controversy
during the time because it made people believe that salvation and forgiveness
could be bought. Martin Luther was very
much opposed to the practice of selling Indulgences and his critic of the
practice eventually led to his break from Rome and founded the Lutheran
Church. The Counter-Reformation made
some changes to curb the excesses of Indulgences but nonetheless this practice help
end religious unity in Western Europe.
