According to all three documents: Answer 2 of these questions ~ use 4-5 sentences For each
πŸ““ Why were colonists upset about the Stamp Act?
πŸ““ Was the Stamp Act an unreasonable and unfair tax?
πŸ““ Were the British violating colonists’ rights?
πŸ““ How were the colonists behaving in response to the Stamp Act?
πŸ““ Some historians have argued that the American Revolution happened because a few rich leaders riled up all the poor people.?
