About this episode
This episode explores the repeal of the Stamp Act and the political maneuvers behind it.
How did the Stamp Act end up repealed without ever going into effect? What act passed into law in order to secure the repeal? How did people on both sides of the ocean react to the news of repeal? Would parliament attempt to tax the colonists again? On today’s episode of Founded we’re finding out about how the Rockingham ministry managed to push the stamp act repeal through parliament and the Declaratory Act. It took a lot of effort from both sides of the ocean and a lot of compromise that would lead to further problems (subtle foreshadowing) but the news of the repeal of the Stamp Act was worth celebrating.
