    The Stamp Act imposed a tax on all printed materials in the American colonies in 1765 to help pay off war debts from the Seven Years' War. Unhappy with further taxation without representation, the colonies protested the subsequent Townshend Acts of 1767 that placed new duties on imports of goods like glass, lead, paints, paper and tea. Both acts increased tensions between the colonies and British parliament over taxation.
