The Stamp Act

Navigation Acts

This flag represents Patriot success over the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act began in 1765. The Stamp Act required legal documents, magazines, and other types of paper. They used this throughout the colonies to be created on officially stamped paper. Some stamps were taxed and needed to be paid for in British currency. This is a modified flag for the stamp act. They modified it to show the coming of the 13 colonies after the Stamp Act was repealed.

This picture represents persecution of the colonists. The Navigation Acts started in 1651. The Navigation Acts controlled all trades within England's Empire. The Navigation Acts cause mercantilism. Mercantilism was the idea that the country should sell as much as possible, and buy as little as possible.
