How did colonist respond to the stamp act?

Answer 1

Rebellion. For example, on November 1, when the tax was set to be implemented, all businesses in New York closed. New Yorkers demonstrated and burned a likeness of the British governor. They warned that if he enforced the Stamp Act, he would "die a Martyr to [his] own Villainy."

The boycott worked. In 1766, Parliament repealed the Stamp Act.

Answer 2

They went all 'kung-fu rebellion' on the British asses.

Just kidding, they actually sent a letter to the king of Britian, A.K.A, Loius IIV, and then feathered and tarred tax collectors and refused to buy anything that was taxed because of the act. So, in short, they rebelled. The King also refused to read the letter in his anger.

Answer 3

Many colonists openly defied the 1765 law. Some met in the so-called Stamp Act Congress and sent an unsigned petition to King George protesting the imposition of taxes and trade regulations.

After many demonstrations, some violent, the tax collectors mostly resigned their commissions and little revenue was ever collected. It was 8 years later, in 1773, that the identical issue arose over the Tea Act.
