STAMP ACT PROTESTS
. These tax stamps, as is present on this newspaper, was a factor in bringing on the American Revolutionary War !!
The Stamp Act of 1765 was a tax imposed by the British Parliament on the colonies of British America. The act required that many printed materials in the colonies carry a tax stamp. The purpose of the tax was to help pay for troops stationed in North America following the British victory in the Seven Years' War. The British government felt that the colonies were the primary beneficiaries of this military presence, and should pay at least a portion of the expense.
Perfect for framing and display!
This historic 18th-century artifact is more than 200 years old and contains the hated British tax stamp, which was levied in the American Colonies in 1765 and directly led to the Revolutionary War!
