Stamp Act Crisis in Colonial North Carolina
The colony resisted the Stamp Act as shipments arrived from Virginia and England. Officials faced unrest as local citizens refused to accept stamped papers, while Tryon dissolved the assembly and prepared for possible resistance. Riots did not erupt, but the act incited strong opposition until Parliament repealed it on March 18, 1766. Contact details: Bill Hand at bill.hand newbornsy.com
