How does the account in this document compare to the accounts in Documents A and B? Do you think most colonists were upset about the Stamp Act, or do you think a few leaders riled up everyone?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include Documents A and B, or any link or references.

However, we can help you answer the second question.

Most colonists were indeed upset about the Stamp Act. Then, many colonists riled others, but they were very angry against the English crown because it imposed heavy taxation on the colonies. And this was not the only taxation, There had been many others such as the Navigation Acts, the Townshend Acts, or the Tea Act.

The colonists opposed this many taxations that they considered unjust, and even worse, they had to pay but had no voice or representation in the British Parliament.

These issues ended up being important causes of the American Revolutionary War of independence in 1775.
