It has grown in both number of post offices and ways to deliver mail. Nonetheless, mail volume has substantially decreased as electronic mail and package delivery companies took business away from the USPS.

    There was a fundamental difference between Whigs and Tories before and after the Stamp Act took place, there were also similarities between the two before and after. The main reason the Stamp Act had such a big influence on the two political philosophies is because it was the beginning of a major polarization shift of the two idealisms.
