Stamp Act 1765

When the Stamp Act of 1765 was passed in the Thirteen Colonies, the colonists were compelled to rethink their loyalty and standing with the British monarchy.

imposed a series of new acts on the colonist which only created stronger unification and brought the colonies closer to rebellion (Schultz, 2010). The first act was known as the Sugar Act of 1764.

This highly unpopular act brought the colonists together in the Stamp Act Congress, where they petitioned King George III to repeal the Act. Although Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766 with the Declaratory Act, the
