Stamp Act
Stamp Act
The British Government passed the Stamp Act to help pay for British troops stationed in the Colonies
The Stamp Act was passed because it was to help pay for the costs of fighting on the American frontier.
Because the stamp act placed taxes on everything the colonists used.
The Stamp Act was a tax on papers from Britain to the colonies. The colonists were to pay higher taxes in which they did not favor.
American Colonists
The stamp act was passed because King Charles lll needed money. The stamp act was like we do today we get are documents stamped or marriage license back then the king passed this act that you had to pay money to get the stamp. Soon many Lenape (who were left) and colonist protested so then the stamp act was repealed
Every time colonists would purchase paper, tax collectors would put a stamp on them and later pay for it.
The Stamp Act required colonists to pay for tax stamps on newspaper, and various legal documents. Parliament abolished the act in 1766. The Stamp Act placed tax on ALL printed material.
Well first.. the stamp act was not a person it was a act. The stamp act was placed on everything from important documents to playing cards and dice. Most merchants did not like the stamp act because the merchants had to pay for the stamps which meant the price of that object was going to be more and the higher the price was 4 that object the less people wanted to buy the object. Most stamp agents were tarred and feathered and some hanged! The PATRIOTS did not want to pay the tax, the LOYALIST wanted to pay the tax.
The Stamp Act (1765) was a way of both earning revenue and of asserting British control over the colonies.
