Stamp Act of 1765 *** - Colonial America
www.landofthebrave.info/stamp-act.htm
The Stamp Act was first direct tax to be levied on the American colonies. ... to pay a tax on blank paper and then officials would place a stamp as proof of payment. The British Parliament granted colonists the right to select American tax collectors .... reaction to the Stamp Act came as a great surprise to the British government.
