King George repealed the Stamp Act in 1776. He repealed this act for many reasons.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.
