The statement "There was a tax on molasses" does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts. The Intolerable Acts, passed by the British Parliament in 1774, were aimed specifically at punishing the American colonies, particularly Massachusetts, for the Boston Tea Party and included measures such as closing Boston's port, limiting town meetings, and requiring colonists to quarter British soldiers. The tax on molasses refers to earlier legislation, such as the Sugar Act of 1764, not the Intolerable Acts.
