THE people in England had seemed to think all along that the colonies in America ought to do all they could to enrich England. Their idea was that the mother country had a right to the earnings of the colonies, so they treated the colonists Hke little children, not old enough to think or work for themselves.
Among other things, the English made laws about trade and navigation which were very good for England, but 215 very bad for the colonies. For instance, they said that the Americans should n
...ot sell their tobacco, rice, sugar, furs, etc., to any country except England. Any colonist having any of these things for sale had to put them on English ships, and pay freight to carry them to England.
Then he had to pay duty before his produce could be sold.
Some other articles could be sold to other countries, pro- vided they were sent over in English ships. But no ves- sels from foreign countries were allowed to come into any of the American ports, either to buy or to sell; and if a colonist wanted something from France, he had to get it by way of England, although it cost j^, fj ^ him much more.
