To be quite honest with everyone, I always was the one in class in high school bored to death by history in high school. When I learned about the stamp act I never took a interest in it because it always seemed boring, but by reading some sections of "A People And A Nation" and especially the section of the stamp act I learned things that I never knew before. It was amazing to know all the chaos and events that occured by trying to put into effect the stamp act. I think the stamp act was incredilby outragous at the time, but now a days I doubt that people would react in the in the same way as the colonist did back then. Thats why I found it so interesting that the colonist reacted the way they did... they fought for what they wanted, and now a days I think people would be too lazy to react.
