Historical Background
★ The British government attempted to pass laws, enforce several
taxes, and increase its control over the colonies. The colonies
strongly objected to these laws and taxes. They wanted England to
have no control over them.
★ For ten years before the war started, tension grew between England
and the colonies.

Causes and Events of the American Revolution
★ The Stamp Act was another tax imposed on the American colonies
by the British in 1765. The tax covered printed materials, specifically
newspapers, magazines and any legal documents.
★ It was named the Stamp Act because, when these materials were
purchased, they were given an official stamp (pictured above) to
show that the buyer had paid the new tax.
