#OnThisDay 1765...
The #StampAct was passed by the British Parliament. It levied a tax on all materials printed for commercial and legal use. Along with other intolerable Acts, it was seen as an attempt by the government to undermine the economic strength and independence of the people.
The #StampAct was passed on #ThisDayInHistory in 1765 by the British parliament. It never went into effect. The idea of charging a fee for printing was so odious it sparked massive #DirectAction & #terrorism including hangings in effigy of stamp sellers and burning of buildings.
#OnThisDay - The Stamp Act of March 22, 1765 is passed.

Thanks to @benfranklinhouse.bsky.social for inviting me to a celebration of their exhibition #GeorgianGems!
Franklin lodged here from 1757 to 1775, and in this #Rev250 year (and on the day after the 260th anniversary of the repeal of the #StampAct on 18 March 1766) the vibe in the rooms was palpable
The #StampAct was repealed #OnThisDay in 1766.
Women across the colonies organised spinning bees to protest British regulations, leveraging their domestic power to influence the revolution.
