FAQ
The Stamp Act meant the colonies no longer benefitted economically from British rule, and thus the colonists' rights were injured. The Stamp Act was permitted under the English tradition of taxing those whose rights are protected, which the colonists disagreed with.
The Stamp Act became one of the most controversial laws ever passed by Parliament, and after several months of protests and boycotts which damaged British trade, it was repealed on 18 March 1766.

The Stamp Act Congress (October 7 – 25, 1765), also known as the Continental Congress of 1765, was a meeting held in New York City in the colonial Province of New York.
After the repeal of the Stamp Act, the colonists celebrated but soon became discontented with the Declaratory Act and other taxes imposed by Parliament. They denounced British tyranny, protested, engaged in non-importation agreements, and tore down a statue of King George III.

In March 1770, most of the taxes from the Townshend Acts were repealed by Parliament under Frederick, Lord North.
