ON this date in 1765 - Nine American colonies sent a total of 28 delegates to New York City for the Stamp Act Congress.

The delegates adopted the "Declaration of Rights and Grievances."

Delegates Bun Man and Mr. Purple from the Delaware Colony made the mistake of taking their wives w/ them.

When the ladies heard the word 'stamp', they took it and ran and 'STAMPIN'UP' was formed.

There was some solace in this newfound activity, the women stayed out of politics for quite some time.
