In 1765, King George III received widespread resistance to the Stamp Act from the American colonies, including petitions and protests. Colonists argued against the tax, claiming it violated their rights as Englishmen since they had no representation in Parliament. This resistance culminated in organized actions such as the formation of the Sons of Liberty and the boycotting of British goods. Ultimately, the backlash contributed to the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766.
