The British passed the Stamp Act of 1765 primarily to generate revenue to cover the debts incurred during the French and Indian War and to fund the ongoing military presence in the American colonies. They believed that since the war had benefited the colonies, the colonists should contribute to the costs. The act required colonists to purchase special stamped paper for legal documents, newspapers, and other publications, which sparked widespread protests and contributed to growing tensions between Britain and the American colonies.
