On March 22, 1765, the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act, imposing new, unwelcome taxes on the American people. This and other such acts, eventually led to the American Revolution.
It was an example of a government that felt it had no restrictions on what it could do, imposing an unwelcome program on a people far away, whose protests they ignored. Eventually, thousands of deaths later, that government was completely expelled from the American continent, and a new one set up in its place.
"Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."
