Political revolutions are
neither spontaneous nor in-
evitable. They result from
problems, forces and deci-
sions working over long

periods of American history

the Stamp Act in 1765, it
touched off a rash of con-
demnatory writing; so much
so, Britain was forced to
repeal the act. Other taxes,
brought about by the
Townshend Acts, were also
written off the books—ex-
cept the tax on tea.
