The Stamp Act of 1765 was named for **stamps that taxed all papers, pamphlets, and cards.** This legislation required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. This act was a significant factor in rising tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain, as it was the first direct tax imposed on the colonists.
