Many factors involved.
The Stamp Tax was without any representation in Parliament.
The colonists were much,much, more self-contained.
Today, we are very much more prosperous and urbanized. Well fed, prosperous people do not a revolution make.
On the contrarian side, we have regained much.
It is likely the confiscation will not occur, because the powers that be will not see much benefit from it.
“Well fed, prosperous people do not a revolution make.”
Our least prosperous people are the most likely to be obese and are the most entertained poor people ever. They are also unused to hard physical labor outdoors in all weather. It’s hard to imagine any sort of sustained civil unrest under these conditions because they have never existed before in recorded history.

I would say that we are not represented today and have not been for a long time. We keep electing “representatives” in the hope that they will support our agenda and that of the president we elect but that has not been happening much.
The core of the revolution came from the prosperous and urbanized of the time and spread eventually to the smaller population areas. It was touch and go all the way although today, especially in “flyover country” the sentiment to reestablish the Republic is strong. France is a prosperous and urbanized country as well and citizens there finally began to stand up to the socialists; although I suspect that the fascist globalists are now using a real revolt to replace their boy puppet with a dictatorship.
