What was the Stamp Act of 1765? What did the tax mean for the colonies? What did the tax represent to the colonists?

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was imposed by the British Parliament after the Seven Years’ War in order to pay for the stationing of their troops during the war. The Act forced colonists to pay a tax on papers, documents etc in the form of a stamp. The tax represented the beginning of a series of unfair taxes to the colonies. It represented a loss of freedom and voice (or representation) in British legislature. Things would get worse though.

So basically, the Stamp Act marked the beginning of a series of imposed taxes (The Stamp Act was the first).

the american revolution was by the middle and upper class, and the french was by the lower and middle class.
