The Stamp Act was passed on March 22, 1765. It would take effect on November 1st of the same year. This act was used to pay a tax on basically every piece of paper.

The stupid red coats were starting to annoy Dean, when they first started the sugar act. That just in itself almost made him get on a boat and go punch the cursed fart of a king right in his smug pompous face.

There were several Acts and policies signed by the British Parliament that had led to the Tea Party such as the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Acts, and the Tea Act.
