1 answer:

5 0

"The Stamp Act of 1765 was abhorred by the colonists because it represented an effort by the British to use taxes in order to raise money, and not to regulate commerce as in the past. For the colonists, this set a troubling precedent that would open the doors for more extensive taxation in the future."

They were treated like they didnt mean anything to anyone because they were slaves. If you were a slave you were treated like an animal. There was a woman named Harriet Tubman and she risked her life over and over again trying to help slaves escape.
