<em>The Stamp Act of 1765.</em>

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was the tax that got put on the colonists by Great Britain, this made it so the colonists had to pay taxes on certain types of paper products, like newspapers.

This act was put on the colonists in 1765 and they did not agree with it at all. Many colonists were outraged by this and thought it was unfair that they were being taxed. They felt as if they had no say in what they were being taxed in and they had no colonists in British Parliament that could help plead their case, this is known as "taxation without representation." Great Britain said they needed the money from the colonists in order to pay for the French and Indian War, which was expensive, and they had British troops protecting the colonists. The colonists didn't agree with Great Britain and how they were trying to justify taxing them.

Over time, the colonists started to boycott the merchants and businesses that were selling goods that were stamped by the Stamp Act. They even went as far as threatening the merchants that were selling them and burning many goods. Great Britain realized that many British merchants and businesses were being harmed and essentially nobody was buying the stamped products. They ended up repealing the Stamp Act of 1765 after all of the outrage from the colonists.

How did Iturbide's motive for rebellion differ from the motive of Father Hidalgo and Father Morelos? Please? Thank you sooo much
Natalija [7]

Agustin de Iturbide was a conservative creole in Mexico who overthrew the Spanish viceroy and made Mexico independent, Iturbide wanted to seize power as emperor and avoid liberal reforms from Spain, but many that fought with him for independence wanted liberal reforms.

Father Miguel Hidalgo was a creole priest that wanted revolutionary freedom. He was captured and executed for being the first leader of Mexico’s fight for independence, he defended Mexico’s independence because of the Spanish tyrannical government that made great injustices against the poor of Mexico.

Father Morelos was a mestizo priest wanted a ranging social and political reform, he wanted to improve Mexico’s condition, abolish slavery and give all men the right to vote. He came after the execution of Hidalgo.

We can conclude that Hidalgo and Morelos defended liberty with social reforms for the people of Mexico, but Iturbide wanted to remove Spanish power and wanted it for himself.
