the Sugar Act was made to raise money from the colonies to help pay Britain's debt and to fund a standing army in Colonial America. Along with this though a lot of things were taxed like numerous foreign products, including wine, coffee, and textiles. Also, they banned the direct shipment of several important commodities such as lumber to Europe, upsetting the balance of trade for merchants in Northern seaports. This caused lots of disruption, anger, confusion, etc within the community. -
The Stamp Act and Sugar Act were both created primarily for the same reason... and that was to raise money for Britain and the army, but after it passed the Stamp Act required colonists to pay taxes on every page of printed paper they used.
