The British were heavily indebted due to the French and Indian war, so they used any means possible to tax the colonists in order to pay off this debt. The stamp act originated in 1765, taxing everything from stamped documents to newspapers to playing cards. This was the tax that sparked the famous American revolution, and it caused a heavy boycott of british goods. Parliament was losing money, but so were the angry british merchants who were not receiving any payments. The merchants pushed the king to finally abolish the tax in 1766.
