What was the main reason for the Stamp Act? To raise money; to prevent Native American; to encourage communication between British; to encourage a monopoly so colonies had to purchase all paper products from Britain

The main reason for the Stamp Act was to raise money. The British government aimed to generate revenue to help cover the costs of maintaining British troops in North America and to pay off debts incurred during the French and Indian War. The Stamp Act required colonists to purchase stamped paper for legal documents, newspapers, and other printed materials, effectively imposing a direct tax on the colonies without their consent, which led to widespread resentment and protests.
