Draft What if everyday citizens had to pay taxes on any paper with a stamp on it today? The British Paraliment had control over the American Colonies and began to enforced a set of laws that forced the colonies to pay taxes on paper with stamps on it, called the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act influenced the American Revolution by creating tension between the two and increasing taxes the colonies had to pay. The Americans were very surprised that war had broken out with Britian. "Because of the strong bands of law, loyalty, faith and blood uniting the two peoples, many Americans were surprised that a war against the British had occurred."( "American Revolution.") Before the war they thought of Britian as the mother of their country. Grenvill, the leader of Britian, was desperate for money for their revenue, so he wanted to turn to the colonies. The faith that the Americans thought the British had was supposivley a lie, since they inforced the laws and taxes on them. So, he looked at North America and was impressed. He thought that the colonies would be good to tax. Britian at the time had some power of the American Colonies so they began to enforce there taxes. The Stamp Act took place on November 1, 1765. The American Colonist and the British Paraliment were the two sides. The stamp act placed taxes on american colonist legal and official papers that had stamps on them. And in the thirteen colonies had a widesread of antagonisim. I think that the Stamp Act was just a desperate way for the British to get money from the colonist. . In the stamp act one-penny stamps were used on printed paper not bigger than a piece of paper, but not smaller than half a piece of paper. Britian placed taxes on almost any printed or any formally written paper. The items that were being taxed where everyday items that were being used. The colonist didnt like the Stamp Act and called for a boycott against the British Paraliment. Then the paraliment repealed the Stamp Act. Like expected the colonist were outraged and didnt like the taxes on their stamps and paper goods. The colonist responded by saying that they already contributed by providing manpower during the late war. "The Stamp Act would affect nearly all Americans. Grenville intended, with the full agreement of Parliament, that the Stamp Act should not only raise revenue, it should clearly demonstrate that the British government through Parliament exercised political sovereignty over the colonies."(Colgiano, Francis D. "Was the American Revolution inevitable?") The distance between the two were representation by the British colonist. the colonist got assemblies that resembled the Stamp Act. The colonist were outraged on the British Paraliment over the colonies for granit by taxing them on there paper or documents with stamps on them. The Stamp Act was a major conflict beween the British and the Americans during the American Revolution. This tax encouraged the war between the two. The Stamp Act was a time in history to remember, and is one of the reasons the war began. code
