What happened after the Stamp Act was passed?

The Stamp Act of 1765 was passed by the British Government so that the British Empire could demand taxes from the American colonies on everything that was made out of paper—including playing cards. The American people were extremely upset and protested against the Act, as they believed that only people of their own legislature should have the right to demand taxes.
Thus, the Americans also requested that the American colonies have representatives in the British government. After several months of revolt and protests, Benjamin Franklin made an appeal before the British House of Commons, in which he demanded that the government repeal the Stamp Act. In 1766, the British parliament did repeal the Stamp Act; however, it passed the new Declaration Act, so that they could reaffirm their political and legislative power over the American colonies.
