On February 13, 1765, Parliament passed the Stamp Act, which created revenue stamps to be purchased and affixed to every form of printed matter used in the colonies: newspapers, pamphlets, bonds, leases, deeds, licenses, insurance policies, college diplomas, even playing cards. The Stamp Act affected all the colonists, not just New England merchants, and it was the first outright effort by Parliament to place a direct—or “internal”—tax specifically on American goods and services rather than an “external” tax on imports and exports—all for the purpose of generating revenue for the British treasury rather than regulating trade.
The key reason for Calvin Coolidge's victory in the 1924 presidential election is that they managed to get voters from southern states to vote for him! Hope this helps!
