6 0

After the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act of 1765, which forced the American colonies to pay a new direct tax in British currency and required that most printed work in the colonies including legal documents, newspapers and other kinds of paper should be printed on stamped paper manufactured in London, South Carolina sent three representatives to the Stamp Act Congress. These representatives were especially vocal and active in their opposition to the British Crown and although Congress would still try to negotiate an amicable compromise with the Crown, it would ultimately seek to sever ties with the Empire.
