No Taxation without Representation
By Cathy Pearl 		  
1     After the French and Indian War, England was broke. They had spent a lot of money to protect the colonists in America. England thought that America should help to pay off the debt.
 
2     England decided to tax the colonists. They thought this would be the best way to get the money back. They started with the Sugar Act. This taxed molasses and other items like wine and cloth. Then, England passed the Stamp Act.
 
3     The Stamp Act made Americans very angry. It required that any printed material be taxed. A stamp would be put on the paper saying the tax had been paid. The tax would affect almost all Americans. It also affected powerful people like printers and lawyers.
