The Evolution Of The Stamp Act

The Loyal Nine & The Sons of Liberty Stamps 

The evolution of the Stamp Act was passed by the British Parliament on March 22, 1765. The British victory for the seven years war had ended up being known as the French and Indian War. During the war the British National debt had began to rise more and more each day. The Ministry had decided that they wanted to keep ten thousand regular British Soldiers in the American Colonist. Which they knew was going to cost a lot of money. The Prime Minister George Grenville had to find every way possible to pay for the large peacetime army. They were doing this Act to help everyone around them not just one person. They never directly taxed the colonies to raise revenue, It began with the Sugar Act and then lead to The Stamp Act.
