Reaction to the Stamp Act
In the American colonies the reaction to the 1765 Stamp Act was greeted in America by an outburst of denunciation. Unlike previous Acts and Taxes imposed by the British on the colonies the Stamp Act effected everyone. The new England, Middle and Southern colonies were all equally effected by the Stamp Act. For the first time the colonists were united in a common cause against the imposition of taxes by the British.
