The colonists did not want to pay the extra money. England said that they had to.

The next act was called the Stamp Act. This act was in This time England was taxing paper.

People had to pay extra money on paper. To show the money was paid, a big blue stamp went on the paper. PAID

This time the colonists were so angry, they got together to say no!

The king was surprised at how angry the colonists were. He was worried that there might be more fighting.

He decided to stop the Stamp Act. People did not have to pay extra money on paper any more.

In 1767, England decided to tax the colonists again. The Townshend Act said people in America had to pay extra money for lots of things.
