The Stamp Act was approved by the British in 1765 imposing taxes on all American colonists requiring them to pay taxes represented by a stamp on every piece of printed paper they used. Legal documents, licenses, newspapers, publications, etc. Colonists reacted with boycotts, riots and attacks to tax collectors.  Although the Stamp Act occurred years before the Declaration of Independence, it was a critical  issue that provoked the American Revolution.

An act of the British Parliament in 1765 that exacted revenue from the American colonies by imposing a stamp duty on newspapers and legal and commercial documents. Colonial opposition led to the act's repeal in 1766 and helped encourage the revolutionary movement against the Crown.
