Colonists opposed the Stamp Act of 1765, which imposed a tax on printed materials, and sought to rally English merchants to their cause by highlighting the negative economic impact the act would have on trade. They organized boycotts of British goods, emphasizing that reduced sales would hurt merchants financially. Additionally, colonial leaders communicated the widespread resistance to the tax, encouraging merchants to align with the colonies in rejecting the Stamp Act to protect their own economic interests. This strategy ultimately helped foster a transatlantic alliance against the tax.
