  2. It brought the colonies together.
  3. Numerous armed uprisings occurred.
  4. Colonists resigned themselves to the cost of protection.
  5. The importation of all British good ceased entirely.
Explanation
Answer: B - The Stamp Act had the unintended consequence of bringing the colonies together. Prior to the British action, they had very little in common; however, with the passage of this Act, they all had the same problem. While objections to the Act were much stronger in the North than in the pro-England South, the Act opened the lines of communication among the colonies.
