The British Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in response to multiple protests and boycotts from the American colonists. The protests and boycotts were primarily driven by the colonists' resentment towards being taxed without their consent. They argued that as British subjects, they should have the same rights and representation as those living in Britain. The widespread resistance to the Stamp Act, including non-importation agreements and acts of violence, put significant economic pressure on the British merchants and led to declining trade between the colonies and Britain. Additionally, some British politicians, including William Pitt, sympathized with the American colonists and voiced their concerns in Parliament. Ultimately, the combination of economic strain, political pressure, and realization of the unpopularity of the act, prompted the British Parliament to repeal the Stamp Act in 1766.
