The economic boycott from the Stamp Act in 1765 was a response by American colonists to the British law that imposed a tax on printed materials, requiring them to use specially stamped paper. Colonists organized a widespread boycott of British goods, refusing to purchase items such as textiles and other imports, which significantly impacted British merchants and manufacturers. This collective action was part of a broader movement against taxation without representation and helped galvanize colonial unity and resistance. Ultimately, the boycott contributed to the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766.
