Massachusetts was a vocal opponent of the Stamp Act, which imposed a tax on printed materials. In response, the Massachusetts General Court sent a letter to other colonies urging them to unite against the act, leading to the formation of the Stamp Act Congress in 1765. The colony also organized protests and boycotts of British goods. These actions contributed to widespread resistance that ultimately led to the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766.
