How did the Stamp Act of 1765 play a part in motivating the movement toward independence in the

History

ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
3 0

The Stamp Act of 1765 angered a lot of colonists and made them want independence, as many felt like they were being treated unfairly.

This act caused the colonists to pay taxes on certain paper products under Great Britain's rule. The colonists felt like this was very unfair as they had no say in what was happening, or "taxation without representation." They had nobody in the British Parliament and could not fight for what they wanted, many deemed this unfair.

Great Britain tried to justify this by saying that they were paying for the French and Indian War, which was very expensive, so they needed extra money. They also said that since they were giving the colonists protection by having British troops, so they shouldn't complain about what they were putting taxes on. This didn't matter to the colonists and many of them started to boycott the products that had taxes on them.

The Stamp Act of 1765 really unified the colonists together, as all of them wanted independence from Great Britain and believed they were being treated unfairly. After a while, Great Britain realized that the Stamp Act was hurting many British merchants and was doing more harm than good, so they repealed it.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: B. They earned more money than their parents

Explanation:

Child Laborers in the United States was a very widespread practice in the 1800s and early 1900s. These children suffered all manner of abuse and were made to do work that even adults should not do sometimes.

As a result they missed out on school and worked in jobs so dangerous that they risked injury or even death. Some might have made more than their parents if their parents had no job but the money that these children made contributed to the welfare of their family so this was not a negative consequence of child labor.
