Definition: this was an act passed in 1765 by the british, requiring all legal documents, contracts, newspapers, etc. in the american colonies to carry a tax stamp to pay for the military presence in the colonies.

Stamp Act

The Stamp Act was passed as part of a series of acts meant to produce tax money from the colonies to pay for the debt created from the French-Indian War.

The Stamp Act was the first direct tax placed on the colonies. The colonists violently opposed the act by rioting in the colonies. The colonists argued they were not represented in Parliament and therefore it was unconstitutional for England to place direct taxes on the colonies. The attacks on stamp collectors forced Parliament to reverse the Stamp Act a year after it passed.

americans had many intangible advantages. well since the british fought a war far from home military orders, troops, and supplies sometimes took months to reach their destinations, and the british had an extremely difficult objective. they had to persuade the americans to give up their claims of independence, americans had a grand cause: fighting for their rights, their independence and their liberty. this cause is much more just than waging a war to deny independence.
