A: The Stamp Act



British Parliament passed the Stamp Act to help with their finances, which would tax the American colonists the most in the act and would be paid towards the costly Seven Years War with France. Part of the tax money from the Stamp Act would be used to maintain several regiments of British soldiers in North America to maintain peace between Native Americans and the colonists.
