The Stamp Act of 1765 required colonists to pay a tax on various printed materials, including newspapers, legal documents, licenses, and playing cards. This act was designed to raise revenue for the British government following the costly French and Indian War. The imposition of this tax without colonial representation in Parliament sparked significant unrest and contributed to the growing sentiment for independence among the colonists. Ultimately, it was repealed in 1766 due to widespread protests and boycotts.
