America - The Stamp Act - Celebrating the repeal of the Act
America - The Stamp Act - Celebrating the repeal of the Act of March 22, 1765 in May 1766 with The Liberty-Pole Festival. The Liberty Pole was known to be a symbol of dissent against Great Britain. The Stamp Act tax was imposed on all American colonists and required them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used. Ships papers, legal documents, licenses, newspapers, other publications, and even playing cards were taxed. This act was highly unpopular, and its repeal was greatly celebrated as this print shows.
