Excerpt from The Pulpit of the American Revolution, Vol. 1: Or the Political Sermons of the Period of 1776, With a Historical Introduction, Notes, and Illustrations
Stamp Act. The colonists, sheltered under the flag of Eng land, permitted her to regulate their foreign commerce; but the Stamp Act violated their domestic independence; and they showed, by custom, by equity, and by their charters from the king, that Parliament had no jurisdiction within their terri tories, and they refused to submit. England sent her armies to compel submission, and the colonists appealed to Heaven. The Stamp Act1 involved the principle in dispute for the next eighteen years.
