The tax burden imposed by Britain on the American colonists was not a fixed amount but rather a series of taxes on various goods and activities, including the Stamp Act (1765), which required that many printed materials carry a tax stamp, and the Townshend Acts (1767), which taxed imports like tea, glass, and paper. Overall, these taxes were relatively low compared to taxes in Britain, but they were met with fierce resistance due to the lack of colonial representation in Parliament, leading to the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation." The cumulative effect of these taxes contributed significantly to colonial discontent and ultimately the American Revolution.
