Repeal of the Stamp Act
The cartoon depicts a funeral procession to the tomb of the Stamp Act, after Parliament repealed that law. Included in the picture is George Grenville, First Lord of the Treasury (and a leading supporter of the much-hated law). Grenville is carrying a child's coffin, marked "Miss Ame-Stamp born 1765 died 1766." CreditsLibrary of Congress - John Bull and Uncle Sam: Four Centuries of British-American Relations - image vc35. |
