what is the stamp act?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"The Stamp Act of 1764 increased the duty on foreign sugar imported from the West Indies." It was also the first law ever passed by Parliament for raising tax revenue in the colonies for the crown.

The Stamp Act of 1765 was a direct tax imposed by the British Parliament specifically on the colonies of British America. The act required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp.
