The repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766 angered many colonists because it was perceived as a manipulation by the British government, suggesting that they could impose taxes without direct representation. While the repeal was initially seen as a victory, it fueled resentment over the ongoing lack of colonial autonomy and the idea that Parliament could still regulate and tax them at will. This led to increased tensions and a desire for greater self-governance among the colonists.
