		The first step in inaugurating the new system was the replacement of the Molasses Act of 1733, which placed a prohibitive duty, or tax, on the import of rum and molasses from non-English areas, with the Sugar Act of 1764.
		The hope was that lowering the duty on molasses would reduce the temptation to smuggle it from the Dutch and French West Indies for processing in the rum distilleries of New England.
		Merchants, legislatures and town meetings protested the law, and colonial lawyers found in the preamble of the Sugar Act the first intimation of "taxation without representation," the slogan that was to draw many to the American cause against the mother country.

	Molasses--A Sticky Situation
		Molasses was the foundation of a commercial arrangement known as the “triangular trade.” New England distilled massive quantities of rum, which required a great deal of molasses to create.
		While most of the molasses was used for rum, some was sold as “poor man’s sugar” (for decades, molasses was the primary sweetener for Americans).
		Molasses also was the cause of a terrible--and quirky--tragedy that occurred on January 15, 1919 in parts of Boston, Massachusetts.

	The Revolutionary War
		Molasses was very important to the prospering colony; any restrictions on its import, the British should have anticipated, would lead to trouble and rebellion.

		Enforcement of the act was so lax that Rhode Islanders got away with importing five-sixths of the molasses they used from French, Spanish, and Dutch islands.

		New England enjoyed a great trade with the islands, receiving molasses and sugar for flour, stock, lumber, and fish, part of which could not be sold to England owing to the corn laws.

		The British government acted throughout on the ground, taken by all European countries at the time, that the existence of colonial possessions was for the purpose of benefiting the mother country.
