The Stamp Act Congress was a meeting in the building that would become Federal Hall in New York City in October of 1765 consisting of delegates from 9 of the 13 colonies that discussed and acted upon the recently passed Stamp Act. The meetings adopted a Declaration of Rights and Grievances. The delegates could not be convinced to affix their names to the document and only one signature appeared - the clerk of the congress. Only six of the colonies agreed to write petitions to the King and both houses of Parliament.[1] This Congress is viewed by some as the first organized American action in the prelude to the American Revolution. The colonies that did not send delegates were Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and New Hampshire.
American independence from Britain was inevitable.
