The Stamp Act of 1765 required that all legal documents, permits, commercial contracts, newspapers, wills, pamphlets and playing cards in the colonies be taxed. They were given a special tax stamp to show the tax was paid.[1]
Opposition to the Stamp Act was fierce. The American colonists threatened to tar and feather the tax collectors so few were willing to collect this tax. It was repealed on March 18th, 1765.[2]
