    The Colonists

    The colonists responded to increasing British control over taxation through acts like the Stamp Act and by initiating events such as the Boston Tea Party. The Stamp Act was a direct tax imposed by the British Parliament in 1765 that required many printed materials in the colonies to be produced on stamped paper from London. This increased British power over the colonies and angered the colonists by taxing them without representation. In response, some colonists in Boston protested British rule by dumping imported British tea into Boston Harbor during the 1773 Boston Tea Party. Rising tensions over British taxation and control of the colonies ultimately led to the American Revolutionary War.
