Question

How did the navigation acts & mercantilism cause a revolutionary war

Answer 1

The navigation acts & mercantilism were aimed to limit the trade within the empire and had put many restrictions, the reason was that the British did not want to lose the valuable gold and assets to foreigners, the Sugar Act and such restrictions forced the colonists away from foreign products and this caused the colonies to anger. The result was a great dissatisfaction against British and eventually the Revolutionary war.
