Answer 1

Dear,

STAMP ACT:

The Immediate Course of Conflict: Three specific questions arose out of the Great War for Empire; (1). What should be done with the vast territory west of the Appalachian Mountains newly acquired from France?. (2). How should this territory and all the British colonial possession in the New World be defended?.
(3). Who was to bear the cost of administrating and protecting the American colonies.

"Taxation without representation is tyranny," was the patriot's cry when the Stamp Act of 1765 was enacted. Its purpose was to provide revenue for salaries of the British Colonial officials.

In American colonial history, a British measure enacted by Parliament on Mar. 22, 1765, placing a tax on all legal and commercial papers, newspapers, pamphlets, diplomas, and even playing cards used in the American colonies. A stamp on the paper testified that the tax had been paid. Intended to help finance the cost of defending the colonies, the measures was Parliament's first attempt to tax the colonists directly. In the past each colony had been assessed a portion of the revenue to be raised, and the various colonial assemblies had filled their quotas or not by whatever means they preferred. The STAMP ACT was protested in the colonies as an attack on colonial self-government and as "taxation without representation". It was repealed in 1766.

Perhaps it is understandable if we think of many republicans as 1. having an "eternal reward" outlook toward their lives. then 2. What's at stake in any conflict is easily "ginned up" to be a simple apocalyptic conflict between God and the Devil emotionally. So of couse God must be on the Republican side. And the democrats are a direct manifestation of all the powers of the devil. And if you're white maybe God is closer to you and likes you better and the black people must be the devil. It's the same kind of thing were distressed people get violent start to think that burning witches might be just the kind of scurrilous act that bcomes the most noble thing they might ever do in life. And then it becomes like gorrilla tactics. A small group can undermine a large group even in battle Sabotage or injure an opponent in one small way that throws them off-purpose to deal with it. (The tactic works particularly well when you are more familiar or move easily with a particular terrain than the opponent -in this case the terrain is people who have difficulty discerining 5hi+ from shinola.) A democrat was the first to do it in a memorable way, but he was at least referring to something that could indeed be made apocalyptic at the mere push of a button.
