Stamp Act

On March 1765 the parliament passed a bill and wanted to raise taxes from the colonies. This is called THE STAMP ACT. This included newspaper, books, court documents, land deeds, and contracts. The colonist protest about this because they paid so many taxes they were left with nothing so they started to argued about this, that they didn't had any representation at the parlament. And then they thought if they let them impose taxes once they would be adding more and more taxes. They thought that the stamp act reveled the british conspiracy to destroy american liberties. The Colonist were complaining about the Stamp Act so the parlament thought that the colonist were being selfish and that their empire needed money, the colonist did not accept this argument.
