The History Daily - An Entertaining Look Back www.historydaily.com By Trevor Smith and Charles Smith
August 25, 2004 on this day: In 1765, in America, a mob demolished the home of Massachusetts lieutenant governor Thomas Hutchinson. In an effort to raise revenue, the English Parliament had passed the Stamp Act requiring Americans to purchase special stamps for legal documents. The colonists felt that they should have to right to assess their own taxes and protests erupted over this and other revenue acts imposed by England. In Boston, the "Sons of Liberty" burned the local stamp distributor in effigy and a mob went on to burn the Hutchinson home. After this, the English royal governors in American could no longer take the ordinary people in the colonies for granted.
