The Stamp Act of 1765 was a pivotal law passed by the British Parliament to impose direct taxation on the American colonies. This act required colonists to purchase stamped paper for legal documents, licenses, and newspapers, thus angering many who viewed it as taxation without representation. Colonists, including those from Georgia, expressed fierce opposition through protests and assemblies. The widespread dissent ultimately marked a crucial moment in the push for American independence, highlighting the growing rift between the colonies and British rule.
