In an effort to raise funds to pay off debts and defend the vast new American territories won from the French in the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), the British government passes the Stamp Act on March 22, 1765.
What was the cause and effect of the Stamp Act of 1765?
Cause: The British Government needed to create money to support the Army so they created the Stamp Act of 1765. This act required colonists to pay for an official stamp, or seal, when they bought paper items. Effect: The colonists protested against the Stamp Act immediately.
Why were the colonists upset about the Stamp Act?
The Stamp Act. The American colonies were upset with the British because they put a tax on stamps in the colonies so the British can get out of debt from the French and Indian War and still provide the army with weapons and tools. … So to help them get their money back they charged a tax on all of the American colonists.
