In 1765, Britain’s Parliament passed a tax on all colonial newspapers, pamphlets, and other papers called The Stamp Act. It was used to raise money especially for the monarchy of Britain, or the King at that time. It affected all people especially the business owners and printers who had to pay huge taxes in the colonies.

Hope this helps.
