Question

What actions did the colonists take in response to the Stamp Act?

Answer 1

The colonists were not at all happy at the way Stamp Act was forced on them without taking their consent. The tax was being taken by the Britishers to support their wars in North America. The colonists not only debated about this tax in colonial legislature, but also distributed written documents against the act. Mob or crowd action against the tax collectors was another way of protesting against the tax. Colonists were so angry that they even tar and feather the tax collectors. This ways were all to indicate their anger towards implementation of the Stamp Act.
