The Stamp Act of 1765

To pay its debts after the French and Indian War, Britain's Parliament passed the Stamp Act, its first major tax on Americans. Colonists, who lacked representation in British government, were outraged-why should they help pay for a war they had fought and won for Britain? Violent protests broke out in all thirteen colonies-how would this "tyranny" end? Book jacket.
