Yorktown was a later battle (1781), Saratoga (1777), Bunker Hill (1775 but after Lexington and Concord), Boston had earlier tensions but not the first battles, Philadelphia and Trenton had later - stage events.
- The Stamp Act of 1765 was a direct tax imposed by the British Parliament on the colonies of British America. It required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. This included paper products like newspapers, magazines, and legal documents such as wills, deeds, and licenses. The tax on imported sugar and molasses was part of the Sugar Act (1764). The tax on tea was part of the Tea Act (1773), and there was no general tax on weapons and ammunition under the Stamp Act.
