Reviews
"This sharp and concise volume is a vivid resource for students hoping to understand the crisis that roiled the British Empire in 1764-1766 and inspired American arguments on behalf of their own rights. Students can analyze laws, speeches, essays, descriptions of crowd protests, tavern toasts, and a sermon. The volume even offers material objects, political cartoons, and other visual images for students to discuss. The accompanying text provides sure-handed guidance for thinking about the language, ideas, and actions that animated this important political moment in American history." -- Benjamin L. Carp, Brooklyn College, CUNY "Jonathan Mercantini has provided a valuable resource for all of us who teach the American Revolution. The writing prompts and discussion questions at the end of each section make The Stamp of 1765 unique when compared to similar edited collections on the period. I am already thinking about the best way to use this text in my classroom." -- John Fea, Messiah College

Synopsis
When Parliament sought to raise funds through the passing of the Stamp Act in 1765, they did not anticipate the protests and staunch opposition to the new law that would ensue in the colonies. Though the crisis was eventually resolved, the larger questions raised by Parliament's action and colonial resistance remained unanswered. What started as a debate over taxation would end in a struggle for independence. The Stamp Act Crisis, 1765-1766, marks the transition in United States history from the Colonial Era to the Era of the American Revolution. The full narrative of the Stamp Act includes political, social, economic, and cultural histories on both sides of the Atlantic. This volume provides the reader with the opportunity to engage with the pamphlets, letters, speeches, legal documents, and other texts and images that people in the colonies and in London were themselves reading, debating, and reacting to at the time. The introduction incorporates recent scholarship and provides a fresh look at this key moment in American history, and the informative headnotes and rich annotations help orient the reader within the historical sources., A fresh documents-based introduction to the Stamp Act Crisis which was an important precursor to the American Revolution.
