…On this day in 1765 the British Parliament enacted the Stamp Act on the Thirteen Colonies in order to help pay for British military operations in North America. Contrary to what you were taught in school the 'no taxation without representation' was a sideshow. What really angered th colonists was that these taxes had to be paid in gold and due to the laws forcing the colonists to trade only with British merchants who would not pay in gold there was no gold in the colonies.
