29 nov 1764 anni - The stamp act

Descrizione:

to raise money from the colonies, since it seemed only fair that they should pay part of the cost of their own defense. This was a tax essentially on all printed paper, including newspapers, playing cards, ship's papers, and all legal documents. This kind of tax was already in force in Britain, and the cost was relatively small to the colonists. But it was a burden.
