This led to unfair taxation on the colonists in order for the British to gain money to pay for the debt from the French and Indian war. The stamp act was passed without any representation or say from the colonies and they had no place in the British government even though they were technically British citizens. ]]> 2020-10-02 13:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797574452 jessicamccarthy2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797575179 The stamp act was a tax that the British put onto the colonies. The British required for the colonies to print a special stamped paper to print things on. The colonies did not like this tax and began to fight back against Britain. Leading to many riots. Delegates of the Stamp Act then came together to write a document to the king to appeal the Stamp Act. ]]> 2020-10-02 13:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797575179 laylahsummers2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797575210 The Stamp Act was a tax put in place by the British on the colonies that taxed every piece of paper. This did not go over well with the colonists so, they started many riots, destroyed buildings and more. From the Stamp Act, delegates got together and created the Stamp Act congress.

They called it the stamp act because they would stamp the paper if it was already taxed. This tax was created to pay for the expenses of the French & Indian war. The stamp act was one of the causes leading to the Revolutionary War because the colonists didn't want taxation if they didn't get any say in government.]]> 2020-10-02 13:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797576086 giagully2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797580732 The Stamp Act was a tax put on the Colonies by the British.

This revolution began with protests, angry colonists, taxation on the colonies without any representation from the British government, tension among British soldiers quartering in colonists houses, and Salutary neglect from the British monarchy. The American revolution was led by a number of philosophers and colonist soldiers such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin. ]]> 2020-10-02 13:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797590236 American Revolution jasonmilgate2023 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797590989 The American Revolution was a revolution against the British Empire by the American colonists.

The colonists didn't like the amount of taxes they were getting especially because they had no say in government.

This happened because the colonists were unpleased with the amount of taxes they were getting, but no say in government. The colonists were at a great disadvantage starting the war because the British had more weapons and tools that the colonists did not have. Finally, the colonists were able to secure a victory and gain freedom.    ]]> 2020-10-02 13:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797593464 jessicamccarthy2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797598448 The American Revolution was the colonies fighting against the British so they could freedom and an independent country. This began because the colonies didn't like that Britain had all the control over the colonies.

The colonists hated that they were being taxed without representation in British Parliament. The Loyal Nine were a secret society that helped organize the Stamp Act riots. The Loyal Nine later became known as the Sons of Liberty. The Stamp Acts started riots all across the colonies. Stamp agents were targeted specifically

These protests helped show the colonists the importance of popular protest in bringing about actual change.

The seven years war left the British government economically exhausted and without any other way to gain money they looked to the colonies to provide revenue through taxes. The Stamp act, the taxes on tea, and other unfair treatment to the colonists caused outrage among the colonies. The boston massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and Aug. 14th are all examples of the colonies revolting from British rule. The podcast talked a lot about revolution and protest being the route of change in government and society. In order to get to change something that is unfair, or not suiting your way of life you need to change things in your current life, society, or government. ]]> 2020-10-02 13:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797629883 giagully2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797632005 I would like to know more about Britain's side of the war, like important people. And what people that weren't in the war did to help. ]]> 2020-10-02 13:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797632005 jessicamccarthy2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797632616 The Loyal Nine secretly organized the riots against the Stamp Act. Later they soon became the Sons of Liberty. 

The Declaration of Rights and Grievances was the document that the delegates came up with the repeal the Stamp Act. 

The Stamp Act started because the British needed to pay for the French and Indian War so they started taxing the colonies. ]]> 2020-10-02 13:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797632616 laylahsummers2024 https://padlet.com/leicesterpublicschools/z1lpdougyo6s4947/wish/797639171 Stamp Act; Taxes every piece of paper passed down by the British and the colonists hate it. Stamp Act riots fueled the start of American Revolution. 

Declaration of Rights and Grievances of Colonists was the document that the Stamp Act Congress made to get a repeal because the riots are getting out of control.  To show this is a continental struggle not just regional.  The delegates shows loyalty to the king to hopefully get a repeal.  Main argument about taxes.  Sent to England in late October.   
November 1st was a mock funeral for liberty because that is when the Stamp Act went into effect.  So they stopped using the stamped paper and continued to riot.  Which is when the Stamp Act actually made England barely any money which resulted in a repeal for the Stamp Act.

  • The stamp act riots were huge factor in the revolution because it was the starting point of the congress meeting to discuss what was going on and it fueled the fire of the upcoming revolution.
  • The Stamp Act was only taxing the colonists for the French & Indian War costs and not all of Britain. The colonists thought that if the money isn’t going towards their causes then why are they only getting taxed when they didn’t even get a voice in deciding whether it should be a law. This brought along the saying, “No taxation without representation!”
  • I learned that eventually the colonists started boycotting against using stamped paper which hurt Britain’s revenue from the Stamp Act but they were still getting money from Georgia, Florida and the West Indies.
