The Stamp Act

There are many causes to the American Revolution. In fact one cause that lead to this deathly war was the stamp act. This meant that every piece of paper had to have a special stamp of England or it was considered illegal. This included all marriage licenses, written documents and everything else that had to do with paper. This made the colonists very angry because it cost money to buy the stamps. This was one of the many ways that England got money from the American Colonies.
To tell you the truth, I do not like these ways of taking money from the colonies. King George was just using the colonies to get money to pay off all of the expenses from the French and Indian war. King George can find other ways to get more money like sending English explorers to different parts across the Application Mountains to bring back goods to sell. This would really make all of the people who live in the colonies happy
