mar 22, 1765 - Stamp Act
Description:
An act passed by the British Parliament that taxed printed materials (like marriage licenses) in the American Colonies. The colonists protested the acts because they were being taxed without representation in Parliament. The protests were so severe that Parliament repealed the act. This made the colonists realize they could influence the British government.Added to timeline:
