The existence and growth of sectional and class differences in the United States were in fact revealed and also 'foreshadowed' in various ways by events after the (American rather than French) Revolutionary War in the 1780s. The 1787 Constitutional Convention, for instance, highlighted yet again the increasing difference between Southern mindsets and Northern, with 'class' distinctions showing up as significant between convention-delegates as well as within the home-regions of those same delegates.
In essence, it was about freedom. It determined that everyone deserved to live in freedom, that the words of the Declaration of Independence would apply to African Americans and all people of color, as well as Americans of European descent. It began as a struggle to preserve the Union, but took on a greater significance with the Emancipation Proclamation. Some say that it was about States Rights and Property, but that phrase was used as a euphemism for Slavery. The property was the slaves, and the right was the right to own slaves. Some say it was over Economy, but the difference was that the South had a slave-based economy that dictated its needs. If it was not fought for freedom, then all that loss of blood was only over the supremacy of the Federal Government over that of the individual States.

Well we know that the act levied taxes on paper, legal documents, playing cards etc due to the debt of the 7 Year's War Britain won. This act is important because it led to the development of the corecive acts, Boston tea party, the creation of the 1st continetantal congress and 2nd continental congress which eventually led to the writtin document THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. The stamp act is important because it led to all this and people were sort of enlightened because they realized " hey you know what, I got rights! This isn't fair so I'm going to do something about it (example Boston tea party they dumped all the tea over). This idea of liberalism contributed to the declaration of independence. I hope that helped! -DGJ
