What happens when everyone decides to ignore the same law at the same time? How does the government maintain order when the citizens are ignoring their authority? Is it possible that stamped paper could cause a whole revolution? 

On today’s episode of Founded we’re finding out about how the colonies resisted the Stamp Act after stamp day came and went. The act was violated the very next day after it went into law and things only escalated from there. We’re also diving into how the Sons of Liberty in Boston managed to get an official resignation out of their stamp man, Andrew Oliver. Of course there’s more mobs and Huzzahs!
