No, the Revenue Act and the Stamp Act are not the same. The Revenue Act, particularly the one passed in 1764, aimed to raise revenue through duties on sugar and molasses, while the Stamp Act of 1765 imposed a direct tax on a wide array of printed materials, requiring them to carry a tax stamp. Both were part of British taxation policies in the American colonies but targeted different goods and had distinct implications for colonial resistance.
