the colonists were mad!!. they thought the only people who can tax them were
their representatives
Keep in mind that the colonists weren't mad because of the Stamp Act Congress. They set up the stamp act congress in reaction to the Stamp Act, which was an internal tax set up by the British that taxed all paper goods by making a British stamp required on all paper good in the colonies.

∙ 11y agoThe colonists, angry that the British government passed an act that taxed such important items for daily life (the Stamp Act - Taxed all printed material), protested against the act. They also boycotted the taxed items, but paper was (and still is) used all the time in an average person's daily life.
Eventually, the Stamp Act, with many other acts, angered many colonists. With that, the Revolutionary War began.
