How did the Stamp Act affect the Revolutionary War?

Answer 1

because it was between the Britain and American

The Stamp Act served as the "last straw" the colonists were willing to put up with from Great Britain and how it controlled the colonies. The Stamp Act was one of the so-called "Intolerable Acts" that Great Britain passed that harshly affected the colonies. The Stamp Act required every document and paper to bear a stamp, like postage stamps, which the colonists had to buy. All of the Intolerable Acts were eventually repealed except for the Stamp Act. Colonists recognized that this was just another way of Great Britain imposing more taxes on them and they objected to it. Great Britain refused to repeal it despite demands by colonists that it be repealed. This was part of the "no taxation without representation" sentiment at the time. King George 3rd insisted on enforcing the Act but this insistence only made the colonists more and more angry with him to the point where the majority of colonists finally had enough and decided to rebel and cut all ties with Great Britain. And so they did.and by the way America won the revolution!!!!!

This answer is completely accurate and true, but to answer your question in Laymen's Terms:

The Stamp Act only helped to further the reason for America to rebel against Great Britain's tyrannical rule over the Colonies. In this, it gave further evidence to the Colonial Rebels to secede from Great Britain for what oppresions they were having to deal with.

Answer 2

Because after the french and Indian war the british had spent a lot of money for supplies for the war like guns, or other, so England was in debt and they decided to pay it back by taxing the colonists. The stamp act taxes things that were stamped, the colonists didn't like it so it got them angry. But also since the colonists got more taxes like the sugar act, townshend act, etc.

Answer 3

the stamp act was involved in the revolution because the 13 colonies became fed up with what the leader/king was doin and they wanted to revolt against them. after a few more activities passed the 13 colonies gathered up and joined together and that's why they call it the United-stated of America......the 13 colonies were 13 different states.

It was impacted by putting a tax on just about everything that's printed such as mail letters and therefore made the patriots (people who wanted independence from the British) to further assist in a revolution against Britain.

Answer 5

The Townshend Acts weren't necessarily the main cause for the revolution, but they did cause a lot of friction between the colonists and Britain. The Townshend Acts taxed the colonists on glass, lead, paints, paper, and tea. The colonists rejected these duties, and therefore boycotted them, while colonial leaders encouraged American-made products instead of British. This decreased the amount of imports from Britain, therefore forcing Parliament to repeal the Townshend duties. However, they didn't repeal the tax on tea, which eventually caused the Boston Tea Party.
