It levied a tax on legal documents‚ almanacs‚ newspapers‚ and nearly every other form of paper used in the colonies. Adding to this hardship was the need for the tax to be paid in British sterling‚ not in colonial paper money. Although this duty had been in effect in England for over half a

When I walk into the bourse at the stamp show‚ I note several things all at once. The room is small‚ and approximately 10 dealers have crammed binders and boxes in every available space along the walls and under the tables.

During our class election on the Stamp Act‚ I voted to enforce the Stamp Act on the colonial people.
