First, in 1764, Grenville's government passed the Sugar Act, which placed a tax on sugar imported from the West Indies. The same year, Parliament also passed the Currency Act, which removed devalued paper currencies, many from the French and Indian War period, from circulation. In 1765, Parliament passed the Quartering Act, which required residents of some colonies to feed and house British soldiers serving in America.
