A stamp act?
The Stamp Act of 1765 was a move by the British Parliament that imposed a tax on all paper goods produced in the colonies. The goods now had to be printed on special paper from London, that was stamped with a special seal. These taxes could not be paid with the paper money in the colonies, but with legal British currency. The taxes from this act were to support the British troops stationed in the American Colonies.
What does second continental congress have to do with the second continental congress?
The First Continental Congress sought reconciliation between the Crown and the colonies. The Second Continental Congress eventually declared the independence of the colonies. The Second Congress also sat for very much longer than the First, in part because it was needed to prosecute the war of Independence. This fact also explains why the First Continental Congress did not continue to meet. They met for two months and did what they had come to do -- agree on a response to Britain's "Intolerable Acts" (the bills Parliament passed to punish Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party, and warn others against similar acts). The First Congress wrote several letters to the King, the British, the colonies (including Quebec), pleading for support and the repeal of the Acts. They ALSO agreed on a phased-in boycott. And finally, they called for another meeting in the spring (the Second Congress) if matters were not resolved by these steps. You might compare the "Stamp Act Congress" of 1765 after which, along with boycotting, the colonists succeeded in convincing Parliament to rescind the Stamp Act. They hoped for something similar in the First Congress and the beginning of the Second.
