King George repealed the Stamp Act in 1776. He repealed this act for many reasons. One reason was because the King noticed that the colonists were protesting. Samuel Adams led a mob, that protested against the Stamp Act. The Sons of Liberty (a group of people who hated the Stamp act) tar'd and feather'd the tax collectors and burned the taxes and the tax collectors homes.

Yes, the British repealed the Stamp Act because the colonist had been protesting and boycotting British goods. Subsequently, the merchants' profits were lessening, so they merchants convinced parliament in Britain to repeal the Stamp Act. However, soon after, parliament passes the Declaratory Act which stated that they could still tax the colonists on whatever they pleased. Even though they repealed the Stamp Act, they were trying to tell the colonists they wouldn't get away with everything.
The British Parliament finally decided to repeal the Stamp Act after merchants pledged to boycott British goods. The Stamp Act would later be replaced with the Townshend Acts.
Parliament agreed to repel the Stamp Act on one condition, the colonists had to agree to the Declaratory Act being passed, which gave Parliament full power and authority to make and pass laws. The colonists happily accepted, glad to be free of the Stamp Act and many ignored the Declaratory Act, despite their agreement.
