    The answer is the so-called Westmoreland Resolutions (1765), which Lee wrote and signed together with other petitioners at Leedstown, Westmoreland County, Virginia, in order to fiercely oppose the Stamp Act. This Act had been passed by the British Parliament with the goal of imposing a tax on paper that would be paid by American colonists in specie. This infuriated Lee and other colonists, who saw it as a way for the British to get money from them without their consent.
