The Stamp Act-Personal Narrative

I believe that the Intolerable Acts had more of an effect on the colonists. I say this because after the Stamp Act was passed the colonists did things like boycott and protest. Although, after the Intolerable Acts the colonists all gathered together and decided they needed to make everyone aware of their suffering and declare freedom from British rule.

     The passing of the Stamp Act by Parliament in 1765 caused a rush of angry protests by the colonists in British America that perhaps "aroused and unified Americans as no previous political event ever had." It levied a tax on legal documents, almanacs, newspapers, and nearly every other form of paper used in the colonies. Adding to this hardship was the need for the tax to be paid in British sterling, not in colonial paper money. Although this duty had been in effect in England for over half a century and was already in effect in several colonies in the 1750?s, it called into question the authority of Parliament over the overseas colonies that had no representation therein.

extremely tyrannical in its approach. Through the 1760s and 1770s, England passed a litany of

The stupid red coats were starting to annoy Dean, when they first started the sugar act. That just in itself almost made him get on a boat and go punch the cursed fart of a king right in his smug pompous face. He could even tolerate that stupid proclamation that they put in place, although it totally crashed down on his business. He couldn't even trade with the natives to get the items he needed, But he managed. Now the family business is doing quite well, under the circumstances.

“Now that we have to pay taxes on all the printed pieces of paper, I don’t know if I will be able to keep our printing business going Mary!” Father worriedly discussed with Mother.

Throughout the span of several years directly contributing to the multiple extensive and escalating tensions towards the troublesome country, Great Britain, enraged colonists of the original thirteen colonies declared war, which subsequently instigated what is well-known as the American Revolution. Leading to the establishment of triumph, the thirteen colonies successfully acquired their independence and became the modern United States of America while comprising their optimal vision of commencing the westward expansion traveling through the New World. Nonetheless, the lingering unresolved conflicts with Britain continue to still exist and transpire within the United States boundaries wherein infuriated majority of Americans to combat in the

“No Taxation without Representation.” Everyone has heard this quote, but how many know where it came from? In March of 1765, British Parliament passed a law that the colonists must pay a tax on any licenses, contracts, wills, warrants, playing cards, and paper. Every one of these things had to have a stamp on it to show that they paid the tax. (Stamp Act Powerpoint) This was called the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act was the most important event that caused the Revolutionary War.

1) The Stamp Act Congress consisting of twenty-seven delegates from nine of the colonies. They met and passed resolutions that were meant to make Parliament repeal the Stamp Act. However, they still insisted that they were subjects of the king. They never tried to split themselves from Britain. In fact, while they were protesting taxations without representation, they still claimed obedience to the government. All they wanted was to reform the acts, not stop being British or remove all British government. By the definition given, they were trying to remove the imperfections, as they saw it, of the stamp act to make the British government over them better.

The stamp act was a very impacting item in Us history. The slave owners were mostly rich and powerful. Except in this one situation when they had no power. The middle class was impacted too. They were impacted if they had children and if the children were getting an education. The higher you were in the social class the more impacted you were.

The stamp act congress was a meeting of representatives from many of the colonies, the congress was formed to protest the newly passed Stamp Act in 1765. It adopted a declaration of rights as well as sent letters of complaints to the king and parliament; the first sign of colonial unity and organized resistance.

It is currently 1778, and the Sun is falling on this frigid, March day. I had finished getting dressed for bed when my stepmother walked into my room. My father, Patrick Henry, had remarried to another woman when my mother, Sarah, had died. I was not eager to have a new mother, but father was happy. That makes me cheerful as well.

There were several Acts and policies signed by the British Parliament that had led to the Tea Party such as the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Acts, and the Tea Act. All three of these acts share one thing in common and that is patriots and/or colonists opposing what was said and done by the Acts. First and the most certainly the start of the discontent of the citizens, came the Stamp Act which was a tax passed by British Parliament on March 22nd 1765. “The Stamp Act, imposed by the British Parliament upon the American colonies in 1765, was the first major impetus given toward the American Revolution.”(Ritcheson, 543) The Act was inflicted on all colonists and required them to pay a fee on every part of printed paper they had used. Colonists however weren’t bothered by the immediate cost but by the standard it was presumably going to enable.

The British Parliament passed The Stamp Act on March 22, 1765. It was a new tax that forced all American Colonists to pay a tax on every piece of paper they used. “The actual cost of the Stamp Act was relatively small. What made the law so offensive to the colonists was not so much its immediate cost but the standard it seemed to set” (History.org). “The total amount intended to be raised by the new tax was £60,000 per year, this is not even 20% of the total amount of £350,000 per year required to maintain the troops” (Stampacthistory.com). The colonists protested this act immediately. This law ended up uniting the colonists against the British Government. It also led to the formation of the Sons of Liberty. They organized boycotts and terrorized and tormented tax collectors.

In 1765, the Stamp Act was passed by the British Parliament. This act was basically established for all Americans to pay tax on every single item that they have used. "The money collected by the Stamp Act was to be used to help pay the costs of defending and protecting the American frontier" (A summary of the 1765 Stamp Act). With that being said, this money is being used for a good cause. However, everyone has his or her own life. One cannot force someone to do anything that is not of his or her will to do it. Although, the money is to be used for the debts that they owed and it will be used towards protecting the American frontier, but it should not be an obligation for everyone to pay for it. Moreover, the government is not trying to ask
