Stamp Act Repealed! By Gustavo and Skyler

Boston, 1767. How did most disorganized colonists get the most powerful empire to listen to them? In the aftermath of the French and Indian war, the British lost a lot of money due to the war economy and the British decided to raise taxes on the colonist. For example, they made the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act made things like playing cards, stamps, and paper cost more. The colonists didn't want to take that due to the tax payment. It was too extreme for them to pay and didn't get representation on the taxation. The colonists were outraged with the British, and many protested and riots broke out. Many colonists were just upset that they didn't get a say in whether they got to pay theses taxes. They were not protesting just to protest, they wanted to be heard and to have a say in this matter. Eventually, the Stamp Act was repealed, and the Colonists stood up to the strongest empire on Earth.
