Tax Stamps |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The Stamp Act of 1765 required the American colonists to apply tax stamps, like those shown here, to all official documents, including deeds, mortgages, newspapers, and pamphlets. The colonists convened the Stamp Act Congress to protest the act, which they called, ”taxation without representation.“ | ||||||
