The Stamp Act Crisis--What difference did it make? What were the long-term consequences of the crisis? This second talk in the 2015 series is important for what happened: A broad mobilization of Bostonians demolished property and forced the resignation of Crown officials; the British government reacted by rescinding the Stamp Act. **Professor Robert J. Allison** of Suffolk University, will discuss the overall significance of the Stamp Act Crisis, how it affected all classes of people in different ways, and how it has been viewed in succeeding centuries.
