Colonial Response to the Stamp Act

Very Easy Period 3: 1754–1800 Road To Revolution

In the years leading up to the American Revolution, various measures and acts imposed by the British government increasingly angered American colonists. One significant law was the Stamp Act of 1765, which mandated that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. This act was especially reviled because it impacted a wide range of documents, from newspapers to legal papers, and was the first direct tax levied on the colonies.

Which of the following actions taken by the colonies was a direct response to the Stamp Act?
