Abstract
Few events in New York City's history rival the spectacle of the Stamp Act riots of November 1, 1765. Crowds hung the royal lieutenant governor in effigy, paraded his stolen carriage through the streets, taunted British regulars to fire their muskets, and sacked a royal army officer's house. Despite this extraordinary incident, however, New York was the last colony to declare its independence from Great Britain, in 1776. This is the paradox that Joseph S. Tiedemann addresses.
