UTOPIAN COMMUNITIES. Although they date to the earliest days of U.S. history, Utopian communities, intentional communities created to perfect American society, had become institutionalized in American thought by the 1840s. Various groups, struggling under the pressures of urbanization and industrialization, challenged the traditional norms and social conservatism of American society. Their desire to create a perfect world often lay in sharp contradiction to the world in which they lived, one in which capitalism, the Industrial Revolution, immigration, and the tension between the individual and the community challenged older forms of living.
The Sugar Act had been passed by the Parliament of Great Britain on 5 April 1764. The Sugar Act increased the number of items that would be taxed when they were imported to the colonies, but it reduced the tax on molasses and sugar from 6 pence per gallon to 3 pence per gallon. Americans demured the Act primarily because of the economic impact, but for some, “no taxation without representation” became a rallying cry against Parliament’s right to tax the colonies.
