Lol.

None. Because they didn’t.

There were a few rogue folks who attacked govt officials.

But violence did not end the stamp act. Going through the parliamentary steps and measures and winning the hearts of people is what ended the stamp act.

COMPLETE NONSENSE!

On August 14, 1765, outrage boiled over in Boston, protesters organized the “Sons of Liberty” and took to the streets in a defiant act against British rule. A mob of several thousand people attacked tax agent Andrew Oliver’s office and his home. Less than a year later, on March 18, 1766, the King and Parliament, fearing a revolution, agreed to repeal the Stamp Act.

You need to brush up on colonial history before you open your yap and make a fool of yourself!
