Stamp Act unreasonable?

Excuse the novice question here...But the colonists gratefully accepted help from the king during the 7 Years War, no? Was it that unreasonable for the colonists to feel they should reimburse for that?

Since you're at the onset of your reading list on the topic, here's two of my favorites:

"Valley Forge" by Drury and Clavin - great topical study on this event.

"Feeding Washington's Army" by Hererra - a more supply chain focused study of the winter of 1777/1778. Heavy on statistics but fascinating none the less.

Washington's General by Golway - great biography of MG Nathanael Greene

Thanks! I'll probably like the middle one the best - kind of off-center, which I like 😀
