because they are able to use the laws of english credit established by Victor Newman in 1659. These laws are:

1) Englishmen are capable of transfering all of up to 15% of their credit debt to any colonist (American) that they have previously been in contact with.

2) Whenever an English merchant is in debt due to a business that he or she owns, they are allowed to choose any colonist (American) that they have had previous contact with to pay up to 30% of their debt for them.

3) Any English merchant is allowed to take up to 40% of any colonist's (American) merchandise if and only if the englishman taking the merchandise is under 20% of his usual profit on his business.

These laws were also one of the many reasons why the Americans eventually revolted. These laws still exhist today becuase of the agreement that was made between the british and the americans after the revolutionary war. These laws are hated widely by informed Americans today. These laws are not tought in schools because the government is fearful that the american people will believe that the british still have control over america.

How did colonists get English merchants to join to fight the stamp act of 1765?

Colonists opposed the Stamp Act of 1765, which imposed a tax on printed materials, and sought to rally English merchants to their cause by highlighting the negative economic impact the act would have on trade. They organized boycotts of British goods, emphasizing that reduced sales would hurt merchants financially.
