    In the year 1765 the Stamp Act was passed, a tax stating that any paper object, including cards, documents, newspapers, and not limited to a will, this act sent a stir through the colonies and caused lots of mayhem. In protest, the colonists did many things in a haze of anger and hatred, here are some.

Second, the Stamp Act said, “...toward defraying the expenses of defending, protecting, and securing, the British colonies and plantations in America: and whereas it is just and necessary, that provisions be made for raising a further revenue within your Majesty’s dominions in America…”

    Many American colonists were opposed to the Stamp Act, which was established in 1765. Written by Parliament, the Stamp Act was a tax on all sorts of paper products and legal documents - marriage licenses, newspapers, almanacs, advertisements, and playing cards, to name a few. The tax was made when Parliament decided that the colonists needed to help pay off the debt from the most recent war. The French and Indian war, fought in America over the Ohio Valley area, was very expensive. England, after having sent over soldiers to the new world to defend the colonies, was deeply in debt.
