Stamp Act
WHO WAS INVOLVED-The British Parliament started the Stamp Act with George Grenville (King George's chief cabinet minister) support.
WHAT HAPPENED-The Stamp Act was where everything having to do with paper was taxed. You had to carry a pocketbook that said if you payed the tax for that thing. You were given a stamp if you did pay for it.
WHEN DID IT TAKE PLACE-The Stamp Act was passed on March 22, 1765, but the Stamp Act Congress (a group of people from nine colonies) came together to form a statement protesting the Stamp Act.
WHERE DID IT TAKE PLACE-The Stamp Act took place everywhere in the colonies, in America.
HOW DID IT HAPPEN-The results to the Stamp Act turned into a boycott. There was also a Congress called "The Stamp Act Congress" that wrote up a statement saying that the British should have no power over the colonies.
WHY DID IT HAPPEN-The Stamp Act happened because the British thought that they could get away with taxing the colonies so that Britain would have more money and power.
