Question

Why did so many colonists protest the Stamp Act?

Answer 1

Also, what actions did the Colonists take and how did the Loyalists respond?

Answer 2

Well the colonist protested the stamp act because it put high unfair taxes on items, even the littlest ones like playing cards, newspapers, books and eventually tea. Also they did not want to be controlled in any way by Britain.

Some actions the Colonist took were boycotting certain items that had the stamp act with taxes. "No taxation without representation!" They had riots, you might remember one...Does The Boston Tea Party..Ring a bell? haha.. Anyways

The Loyalist responded by doing..well not really much of anything I'd guess. They wanted to remain "Loyal" to the crown. Hence the name "Loyalist". Though most didn't like the tax either. But they didn't do much to stop it at all.

Answer 3

Many colonists believe "no taxation with without representation." Because of this quote there became two group patriots and loyalist. Patriots let's say... Became of this they became hateful to their king because he took away freedom that they believed that they should have. Loyalist may or may not have hated there king but they all agreed what the king did was justified because he was their king. Patriots began to spread hateful cartoons about the king also began to boycott British good. Loyalist didn't do much other than just stay out of the way.
