Today we are learning about taxes like the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act was a tax that made the colonist pay for any piece of printed paper.  Also the Tea Act was a tax too, they made the colonist buy tea from only on company, the East India Company.  The only reason they made the taxes were so they could get the money from the colonist to pay off the war depts . To the colonist it wasn’t fair so they did things they thought would stop the taxes. But it only stopped most of them.
