The Patriots reacted to the Stamp Act with widespread protests and organized resistance, viewing it as an infringement on their rights as Englishmen. They formed groups like the Sons of Liberty, which led demonstrations, intimidated tax collectors, and promoted non-importation agreements to boycott British goods. The act galvanized colonial unity and resistance, ultimately contributing to the broader movement for independence from British rule. Their efforts helped pressure the British government to repeal the Stamp Act in 1766.

King George the 3rd was a British king. People known as "Loyalists" were loyal to the king. Others were called "Patriots" those were the people that hated the king (because of the stamp act, ask to find about the stamp act!).
The stamp tax was the tax that taxed paper.
The colonists were angry because of the famous line "no taxation without representation." Britain kept passing acts and the colonists had no say. The Sugar Act and Townshend Acts had been passed before the Stamp Act. In the end, Britain did repeal (get rid of) the Stamp Act, but then passed an act requiring the colonists to house British soldiers.

The colonists were required to pay for a stamp when they bought paper products, and the colonists felt that it violated their rights. So they published a series of resolutions stating that the stamp act violated their rights.
