I apologize for the incorrect response. You are correct; the main reason for the Stamp Act was to raise money to help Britain pay off debts from the French and Indian War.

To arrive at this answer, one can look into the historical context of the Stamp Act. The French and Indian War, which took place from 1754 to 1763, was a costly conflict for Britain. To relieve some of the financial burden, the British government sought ways to generate revenue from the American colonies. One such measure was the Stamp Act, which imposed taxes on a wide range of printed materials in the colonies, including legal documents, newspapers, pamphlets, and even playing cards. The revenue raised from these stamp taxes was intended to contribute to Britain's effort in paying off its war debts.
