Pros And Cons Of The Stamp Act

In the time period of 1763 and 1765 two acts took place, the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act. The Sugar Act all started because of a war debt that was expanding. In the Sugar Act there is a lot of pros and cons, my personal feelings on the act go both ways. The price of sugar was raised to around six pence, which is about twelve dollars for one gallon.
