Non-musical history for today: 1765 – The British Parliament passed the Stamp Act that introduced a tax to be levied directly on its American colonies.

The purpose of the tax was to pay for British military troops stationed in the American colonies after the French and Indian War, but the colonists had never feared a French invasion, to begin with, and they contended that they had already paid their share of the war expenses.[4] Colonists suggested that it was actually a matter of British patronage to surplus British officers and career soldiers who should be paid by London.
