Why did the currency act anger colonists when it was passed in1764?
the stamp act of 1765 - places tax on all printed materials .
And for each printed material , a British officer would stamp them
.
After this act Samuel Adams helped begin an organization called
the Sons Of Liberty . The colonists began to protest even more and
even burn effigies which are rag figures representing hated tax
collectors. So ... pretty much it all began with the stamp act ,
though before the stamp act there was also the Sugar act of 1764
but really when rebellion began happening was when the stamp act
was enforced.
