THE STAMP ACT By SHAWN

After the war with the french and Indians, the British needed money. They needed to pay the soldiers that took care of the colonists in Boston. They made a new law that said the colonists had to pay for printed goods. This law was called The Stamp Act. This law made the colonists furious When the tax collector came the colonists would scare the the tax collectors. Some people would attack them so they don't have to pay. The made straw liked tax collectors and ran around with a coffin that represented the tax collectors. They even through rocks at the straw liked person. Finally they repealed the law because the British couldn't force them to buy the paper.
