† NOTE V.

The sugar act, and the American revolution.

This act, they considered as a great grievance, and its force probably in a great measure evaded, by non-importation and smuggling. This hated molasses act, no doubt, had a remote influence in separating the colonies from the mother country Indeed the venerable Adams acknowledges, in relation to this act
