What was the purpose of the stamp act of 1765?

To raise revenue for the British troops stationed in the American colonies after the French and Indian War.

Explanation:

During the French and Indian War, which lasted from 1756 to 1763, the British national debt doubled. The war was won, but the British Empire was facing a new problem, the one of financial nature. There were ten thousand soldiers on the territory of American colonies, and large amounts of money were needed to keep these troops there.

As raising taxes in Britain was out of question due to protests against the Cider Bill of 1763 (tax on cider), on March 22, 1765, the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act, according to which all American colonists were required to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used, from legal documents to playing cards. The money collected this way was used to strengthen the American frontier near the Appalachian mountains, but the colonists viewed this as England's attempt to raise money in the colonies and a possibility of additional taxation in the future.
