The Stamp Act of 1765

Because the stamp act placed taxes on everything the colonists used.

The passage of the Stamp Act in 1765 intensified tensions between England and the American colonies by imposing a direct tax on printed materials, which colonists viewed as a violation of their rights since they had no representation in Parliament. This led to widespread protests and the formation of groups like the Sons of Liberty, who opposed the tax through boycotts and civil disobedience. The Act galvanized colonial unity against perceived British overreach and laid the groundwork for further resistance, ultimately contributing to the American Revolution.

The king of England repealed the stamp act was because British merchants didn't get business they told the king to repeal it.

The Stamp Act of Congress had 13 resolutions. The first resolution was the colonialist were subjects of the king and parliament just like British subjects. The remaining resolution detailed that taxes could not be imposed with out colonial representation in parliament, and that colonists had the same rights and freedoms as British subjects.

The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first example of the British Crown imposing a direct tax on its American colonists. The act required that all legal documents, permits, commercial contracts, newspapers, wills, pamphlets, and playing cards in the American colonies be printed on stamp paper (a special type of paper taxable by England).

The reason for the tax was a result of the debt that England incurred during the Seven Years War (The French and Indian War). Although England's debt reached about £800,000,000 in 1764, Prime Minister of Great Britain George Grenville's goal was to only extract £78,000 from the colonists.

The Stamp Act Congress was a meeting in the building that would become Federal Hall in New York City in October of 1765 consisting of delegates from 9 of the 13 colonies that discussed and acted upon the recently passed Stamp Act. The meetings adopted a Declaration of Rights and Grievances. The delegates could not be convinced to affix their names to the document and only one signature appeared - the clerk of the congress. Only six of the colonies agreed to write petitions to the King and both houses of Parliament.[1] This Congress is viewed by some as the first organized American action in the prelude to the American Revolution. The colonies that did not send delegates were Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and New Hampshire.
American independence from Britain was inevitable.

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.

It was supposed to increase the tax revenue of the British Government by levying a tax on the tea shipped to the American Colonists. We all know how that turned out, don't we?

The Stamp Act was not enforced until November 1, 1765.

The Stamp Act Congress convened in New York City on October 7 with nine colonies in attendance; others would likely have participated if earlier notice had been provided.

The Stamp Act of 1765 was imposed on the colonists by the British. The stamps affixed to various goods raised revenue for the British. The colonists were enraged--even protested in the streets.

That would have been the Declatory Act in 1766, one of a series of acts known as the "Townshend Acts" .

The Stamp Act was contested by the Colonies because America wasn't represented in British Parliament. Parliament repealed the act and shortly thereafter passed the Declatory Act, which stated that Parliament had the right to pass whatever laws it saw fit regarding the Colonies. Naturally, the colonists weren't pleased with this new act.

The Declatory Act cleared the way for several more acts by Parliament which involved the Colonies. These infuriated the colonists further and eventually led to the Revolutionary War.

It was in 1765

The colonists reacted in many ways, violent and non-violent. Most times it would start out as a peaceful protest like holding signs and saying chants like "No Taxation without Representation". Then some of the Red Coats would come along to cause a fight and get people arrested. Also, the colonists would write letters to the British government stating why these duties (taxes) were not fair. They would ignore the tax to the point where they got arrested and fined. Other colonists would Tar and Feather the tax collectors when they came to their house. Tar and Feather means to: Take hot tar and drench the tax collector in it. Then, cover them in chicken feathers and carry them (put them in a wagon) around town for people to trash them. People would throw things at them and also beat them up, if the person lugging them around allowed it.
