The colonists were taxed on molasses, sugar (Molasses act), newspapers, pamphlets and signing legal documents (Stamp Act). They were also forced to provide British soldiers with food, drink, candles and places to live (Quartering Act). Then there came the Townshend Acts, which taxed tea, paper, glass, lead and paint imported from Britain.
