A stamp act?
The Stamp Act of 1765 was a move by the British Parliament that imposed a tax on all paper goods produced in the colonies. The goods now had to be printed on special paper from London, that was stamped with a special seal. These taxes could not be paid with the paper money in the colonies, but with legal British currency. The taxes from this act were to support the British troops stationed in the American Colonies.
