22 mars 1765 - The Stamp Act
Description:
The Stamp Act, passed by the British Parliament in 1765, imposed a tax on all paper documents in the American colonies, leading to widespread protest. It was the first direct tax on the American colonies, and its imposition without colonial consent led to the rallying cry of "no taxation without representation," fueling the drive towards American independence.Ajouté au bande de temps:
