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.
