oct 7, 1765 - Stamp Act Congress

Description:

The Stamp Act Congress was a meeting held in New York in 1765 among delegates from several of the British colonies in America to devise a unified protest against new British taxation, particularly the Stamp Act. It was significant because it marked the first time the colonies had acted together in response to British policy, setting a precedent for future cooperative action like the First Continental Congress.
