Abstract:

In 1763, English authorities attempted to raise revenue after costly wars and stem illegal smuggling in New England by passing more regulatory customs demands. These regulations were realized in legislature like The Sugar Act and The Stamp Act, which displeased the residents in the American colonies. Further restrictive acts would push disgruntled colonists into war with England and lead to the American Revolution.
