Tofay I am going to talk about the Stamp Act. In the 1750's Parliament wanted to get money directly from (the peoples) taxes for British troups to be sationed. This act would help finance operations of the empire, and raise money from direct taxes. Colonists were so upset at that decision because that meant higher taxes for them, and they felt offended by the Stamp Act. The colonist were also alarmed at parliaments endeavor to station British troops onto American soil. Once that act was passed , colonists rebelled. Many colonies split from Britain for their freedom.
