During the Stamp Act of 1765, American colonists boycotted British goods, particularly items that required a stamp to be legally recognized, such as newspapers, legal documents, and licenses. This boycott was organized by groups like the Sons of Liberty and aimed to protest against taxation without representation. The widespread refusal to purchase British products put economic pressure on Britain and contributed to the eventual repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766.
