No rigid rules govern the production of a superior essay, but you should keep in mind
several key elements that will make your work fluent and lucid. Make sure that you first
relate the facts pertinent to the topic, but do not make a mere regurgitation of the material
the bulk of your essay. Balance the factual discussion with the analytical portion of your
response. That analytical section should not be a simple expression of your feelings or
impressions about the topic. Such intuitive writing has little value. Instead, always
support your views and conclusions with facts. If you agree with a source, show that you
do so from an informed opinion rather than mere acceptance of it as Holy Writ. You can
certainly challenge a source as well, but sustain that challenge with proof and facts from
other sources. Above all, write in a straightforward, clear fashion that follows a logical
thread and closes with a conclusion that sensibly follows from what you have included

What role did the Stamp Act play in the American Revolution?


The Stamp Act was a strategy to raise revue from the colonies to maintain the British troops along the western frontier. This measure outraged colonists and lead protests, meetings, and other demonstrations.

The colonists felt like there should be "no taxation without representation". They formed militant groups calling themselves Sons of Liberty, these groups encouraged colonial unity to stand against the British.
The Stamp Act angered and united the American people like never before. It inspired both political and constitutional forms of literature throughout the colonies, strengthened the colonial political perception and
involvement, and created new forms of organized resistance. These organized groups of resistance quickly learned that they could force royal officials to resign by using violent measures and threats. The
American people were very tired with not having a voice in their own lives and the Stamp Act was really the last straw that led them to revolt for their own rights as American citizens. After a night of marching,
the British troops reached the village of Lexington on April 19, 1775, and saw a grim band of 70 Minutemen -- so named because they were said to be ready to fight in a minute -- through the early morning
mist. The Minutemen intended only a silent protest, but Major John Pitcairn, the leader of the British troops, yelled, "Disperse, you damned rebels! You dogs, run!" The leader of the Minutemen, Captain John
Parker, told his troops not to fire unless fired at first. The Americans were withdrawing when someone fired a shot, which led the British troops to fire at the Minutemen. The British then charged with bayonets,
leaving eight dead and 10 wounded. It was, in the often quoted phrase of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "the shot heard 'round the world."
