George Grenville served as the Prime Minister of Great Britain from April 1763 until July of 1765. He hoped that by passing the Sugar Act smuggling would dwindle and revenues would increase.
The Grenville Acts were a group of acts that included the Sugar Act, which lowered tariffs on sugar while increasing tariffs on molasses, The Currency Act, which made the colonists use British currency, the Stamp Act, which forced colonists to place stamps on all official documents, the Quartering Act, which required the colonists to house, clothe, and feed British troops, and the Tea Act, which placed taxes on tea.
The man who sought to control more of the colonies' taxes and tighten England's hold on the colonies was Prime Minister George Grenville. He implemented several measures, including the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act, aimed at increasing revenue from the American colonies and enforcing British authority. Grenville's policies ultimately fueled colonial resentment and contributed to the growing movement for independence.
George Grenville instituted several taxes affecting the American colonies primarily to address Britain's mounting debt from the French and Indian War and to fund the ongoing military presence in North America. His main purpose was to generate revenue to support British troops stationed in the colonies and to assert Parliament's authority over colonial governance. Grenville believed that the colonies should contribute to the costs of their protection, leading to the implementation of measures like the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act, which ultimately fueled colonial resentment and resistance.
