The important People Associated With The Stamp Act


 The people who associated with the Stamp Act was the British Parliament but on the Colonies of British America. The Stamp Act was imposed on all American Colonist, Which had required  them to pay a tax on every piece of paper that was being used. The meeting that was held for the Stamp Act was consisted of Representatives. The secretary of the meeting in the New York City Hall was John Cotton. John Cotton was the congress secretary. But This Act was introduced and Announced by The Prime Minister Of Great Britain  George Grenville. As he Announced the Stamp Act, The public acted with disobedience And Riots began throughout the colonies in America. Some of the Colonial protesters began to burn The Stamp Act papers. Many didn't seem to happy about this act because they have to pay taxes on something they use daily. It wasn't just a few people that had to do with The Stamp Act is was Many people in The American Colonies.
