The paper in question asks about information pertaining to the Stamp Act rebellion, and similar tensions present in the American Colonies.
The tension in the American Colonies began in the aftermath of the seven-year war. A war in which the British would spend a great amount of wealth. In an effort to regain this spent capital, the British decided to raise taxes. However, the taxes themselves were not so much the issue, the problem came from their lack of parliamentary representation.
One way in which the British imposed taxes, was to pass the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act would require that all printed goods carry a stamp, which of course was taxed. In response to this, protesters would form the Stamp Act Congress, which was dedicated to boycotting British goods, which worked, as the Stamp Act was repealed.
However, the very same day, the British passed the Declaratory Acts. This was a law stating, in simple terms, that the British could bind the American Colonies in any way they see fit. This served to greatly increase tensions between the colonies and the Crown, adding further importance to the American protest for representation.
Following this came a protest from the colonies in way of the Boston Tea Party, after which the British would pass the Coercive acts, forcing the closure of the harbor until all damages were paid for. The Colonies finally responded by creating the first Continental Congress, which sent a respectful petition to the King.
