mar 22, 1765 - The Stamp Act
Description:
The Stamp Act was an act in which it forced colonists to pay taxes for every piece of paper they bought. This made a big impact for people who used a lot of paper like lawyers, because this would make them pay more money, than what they would normally have to pay without the tax. This tax infuriated the colonists. This stamp was used to rebel against the Stamp Act.Added to timeline:
