Caesar Had His Brutus

On this episode of Dave Does History, we head back to 1765, when Parliament passed a law that lit the fuse of American rebellion—the Stamp Act. It was more than a tax on paper; it was a bold assertion of control over the colonies. What followed was outrage, protest, and the first sparks of unity among the American people. Join me as we unpack the motives behind Britain’s decision, the colonists’ fierce response, and how a simple stamp became a symbol of tyranny—and resistance. This is the story of how liberty found its voice in the face of imperial overreach.
