Stamp out boring style with these bold Stamp Act earrings! The Stamp Act, enacted by the British Parliament in 1765, imposed direct taxes on various documents and paper in the American colonies, including legal documents, newspapers, and playing cards. This act was met with vehement opposition by the colonists, who saw it as a violation of their rights to be taxed without their consent. The Stamp Act Crisis marked a turning point in colonial relations with Britain, highlighting the growing tensions and grievances that ultimately led to the American Revolution and the pursuit of independence. Teapots featuring this design were produced in England for the American market after the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766.
