After the colonists refused to accept the Stamp Act, which imposed taxes on printed materials, Britain responded with increased enforcement and a firm stance on its authority to tax the colonies. The British government maintained that the act was necessary for funding the protection of the colonies and expected compliance. However, widespread colonial protests and boycotts led to the eventual repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766, though Britain also asserted its right to impose future taxes. This tension set the stage for further conflicts between Britain and the colonies.

There were quite a few consequences of the Stamp Act. One consequence was the formation of the Sons of Liberty in Boston, Massachusetts. Another was the colonists openly defying the Stamp Act by refusing to buy British goods.
Well, when the colonists opposed the Stamp Act and boycotted English goods, the British Parliament listened and eventually repealed the Stamp Act in 1766. They hoped this would calm tensions with the colonists. It's important to remember that communication and understanding can lead to positive change and resolution in any situation.
The Colonists feared the Stamp Act because they did not have much money, and because the Stamp Act was based on many of the Colonists daily uses.

the colonists were mad!!. they thought the only people who can tax them were their representatives Keep in mind that the colonists weren't mad because of the Stamp Act Congress. They set up the stamp act congress in reaction to the Stamp Act, which was an internal tax set up by the British that taxed all paper goods by making a British stamp required on all paper good in the colonies.
