British lawmakers repealed the Stamp Act in 1766 due to pressure from both British merchants, who were negatively impacted economically, and the unrest caused by colonial protests. This action was celebrated by colonists as a victory, but was complicated by the passage of the Declaratory Act, which asserted Parliament's authority over colonial matters. This dual decision highlighted the continuing tensions between Britain and the American colonies.
