The Stamp Act By:Marissa

The British needed to pay for many things after the French and Indian war. The British believed that the colonists should pay the troops for protecting them.The colonists got furious because they had to pay for their daily needs. To prove that tax was paid every piece of printed paper would have a large blue stamp. The colonists showed there anger in many ways. Some refused to buy stamps.Others protested in the streets and in town squares. Also bye attacking them and their homes. Other colonies joined with the colonists to protest. They all agreed to not buy British goods. All of the nine colonies got together and talked about their disbelief's with the Stamp Act. All of the protesting surprised the king.Then the British realized they did not have the right to force them to obey the law. So they decided to get rid of the law (Stamp Act).
