In reaction to this act, Samuel Adams founded the Committees of Correspondence to improve communication among the colonies. The colonists also found new ways to smuggle goods by smuggling them at night. The second act, the Stamp Act, was enacted in 1765 and taxed paper products including legal documents, licenses, newspapers, and even playing cards.

This made it hard for people who want personal documents they would have to pay to get it then pay to return the personal document back. This caused a big upset and the Colonist threaded the tax collectors with effigy which was dressing up a dummy as the tax collector and burn it to scare them away. The Colonist and the British made each other look bad by drawing political cartoons to make the locals believe that they can't do anything right and can't take care of a colonie correctly.

The French and Indian War caused Britain to go into debt. Parliament decided that the colonists had to take part in paying the debt. So, they passed acts that taxed British goods.

However, they still insisted that they were subjects of the king. They never tried to split themselves from Britain.

I was at school, during history I told Mr.Bush if the Stamp Act was enacted. Some historians believe that the Stamp Act was one of the most ridiculous enactments because the British taxed everything the colonists bought from the British. Even though it was a good way of raising money,(the British did not have enough money after the French and Indian war) it was unnecessary. The British could have raised money multiple different ways, like conquering another area or mining in the mountains near the colonies, but instead of these ways the British created the most ridiculous enactments in U.S. history. They made multiple families suffer from financial problems. That is why the colonists protested against the Stamp Act. This is also why people burned down tax collectors houses they felt like the took their freedoms away.

In 1765, the Stamp Act was the second act to be made. The 13 colonies did not agree with putting the Stamp Act on paper, games, and mail.

The French and Indian War ended in 1763, and although England won, it left them in enormous debt. The solution was the Stamp Act, a tax on all paper goods. Enacted in 1765, the Stamp Act upset nearly every English colonist in America. This was one of the first times colonists resisted England and this renegation acted as a precursor to the revolution ahead. England was surprised because they didn't consider the Stamp Act as anything people wouldn't agree with and felt that the colonists were responsible for paying in return from the protection England provided them during the war.
