Can you help me with a history event? much appreciated:)?

OK

The Stamp Act was a tax on all printed material. Plus- the money raised by this tax did not assist the colonists, it went to Britain, to fund their war with Spain. We really did not care about that and no one asked us if we approved the tax. This was just one more sort of insult to us as successful colonists. We came here and built all these colonies and Britain began using us. They put taxes on us without asking us for representatives. This was called Taxation without Representation.

There was a patriot names Patrick Henry (Give me Liberty or Give me Death)

and he made a "resolve" which is like "I resolve to fight this- I am making up my mind to declare this is unfair- "

it was published with the Colonial gov. ok (Virginia;s House of Burgess it was called)

and it was called The Virginia Stamp Act Resolves.

I found a source for you.

Good Luck!

The Stamp Act was passed by the British Parliament on March 22, 1765 and was a tax on all American colonists and required them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper used. The tax was very small, but the colonists did not like it because they could not vote on whether it would be imposed and were afraid that, if they did not protest and oppose it, then England would impose more taxes and higher taxes without their ability to have a say in it.

Patrick Henry came up with what was called the Patrick Henry's Stamp Act Resolves, which said that Americans had the same rights as the English, especially the right to be taxed only by their own representatives; that Virginians should pay no taxes except those voted by the Virginia House of Burgesses; and that anyone supporting the right of Parliament to tax Virginians should be considered an enemy of Virginia. The House of Burgesses decided to accept only four of the resolutions. Virginia Governor Fauquier did not approve of the resolutions and eliminated the House of Burgesses as a response to their passing the adopted "resolves".
