The Stamp Act provides us with a way of taxing ourselves and not sending money to other countries. This helped build our tax structure for the United States. It also provided a base for breaking financial ties with England that we had created throughout the American Revolution. The taxation angered the colonists in such a way as to bring about in part the American Revolution and the freedom of the United States. All the acts that Parliament placed in the colonies made the colonists protest, boycott, destroy British goods, smuggle goods, sneak in imported goods, fight officials, and eventually revolt.
