What was the Stamp Act? The Stamp Act was a tax imposed by the British government on the American colonies. British taxpayers already paid a stamp tax and Massachusetts briefly experimented with a similar law, but the Stamp Act imposed on colonial residents went further than the existing ones.
The Stamp Act was passed by Parliament on March 22, 1765 with an effective date of November 1, 1765. It passed 205â49 in the House of Commons and unanimously in the House of Lords. Historians Edmund and Helen Morgan describe the specifics of the tax:he Stamp Act Congress held in New York City, was the first significant joint colonial response to any British measure; it petitioned Parliament and the King.
