The tax that forced colonists to pay taxes on paper products from Great Britain was known as the Stamp Act, enacted in 1765. This act required that many printed materials, such as newspapers, legal documents, and playing cards, carry a tax stamp. The Stamp Act was met with significant resistance from the colonists, who argued that it violated their rights as Englishmen to be taxed without representation in Parliament. Ultimately, the backlash contributed to rising tensions that led to the American Revolution.
