The Stamp Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1765 primarily to raise revenue to pay off debts from the Seven Years' War and to cover the costs of maintaining British troops in North America. It imposed a direct tax on a wide array of printed materials, requiring that they bear a tax stamp. This legislation aimed to assert parliamentary authority over the colonies and generate funds directly from American colonists, leading to widespread protest and resistance. Ultimately, it contributed to growing tensions that fueled the American Revolution.
