Question

How did the navigation acts lead to American revolution?

Answer 1

The Navigation Acts lead to the American Revolution, as it was another way that Great Britain was unfairly controlling the colonies and their economy. The Navigation Acts were that the British colonies were unable to trade with foreign ships, such as Dutch, French and Spanish ones and only Great Britain was able to trade with these countries. The British said this was intended to protect the Americas from being reaped of their gold and silver, but it was just another control policy. This pushed the colonies to vouch for the American Revolution to get rid of British rule.
