George Grenville was the British Prime Minister from 1763-1765. After the extremely costly Seven Years' War, he ordered the Navy to enforce the unpopular Navigation Laws. Then, in 1764, Grenville got Parliament to pass the Sugar Act, which increased duties on sugar imported from the West Indies. Also, in 1765, he brought the Quartering Act into play. This had forced colonists to provide food and shelter for the British soldiers. Many colonists, though, believed them only there for the purpose of keeping them in line. This, of course, just put more fuel on the fire of wanting and needing independence.
