Due to the Stamp act of 1765 where people had to pay a tax for every document and paper written that needed a stamp that you could get. This meant that britain got direct money through tax. People wer not happy with the way Britain just imposed a tax without having the say from any of the colonists. They felt as if their lives were all affected directly with things that they did on a day to day basis. This was one of the first greta dramas in the revolutioary era and meant that clonies and great Britain would not get along and freedom would soon become an idea for colonists.
