Molasses

Boston Molasses Disaster On January 15, 1919, one of the most tragic and strange disasters occurred in Boston, Massachusetts. It was around forty degrees that day, when two days previously it had been only two degrees.

This act was put in place in 1733. The act was put in place because many British planters complained about the Americans trading system. The colonists ignored the law the British put in place banning the production of American meat products. The colonists got them from Newfoundland and that angered the British. They complained to

The Flame in the Flood, an indie title developed by The Molasses Flood, is one of these titles as it places the player in the role of a young woman who is accompanied by her dog as they travel down a treacherous river and scavenge for food and other resources.
