Salutary neglect was the period in the American colonies before the French and Indian War in which British enforcement of laws in the colonies was lax.[1][2] The period is generally recognized from 1721 until 1763 after the Seven Years' War, when the 1763 Sugar Act, the 1764 Currency Act, and 1765 Stamp Act were passed.
