<span>Business and industrialization centered on the cities. The ever increasing number of factories created an intense need for labor, convincing people in rural areas to move to the city, and drawing immigrants from Europe to the United States.

During the <em>English civil war</em>, England left the colonies alone for a period of twenty years. While the English were fighting the colonies were free and essentially got away with anything, this included not obeying the Navigation Act of 1651.
Commerce in tobacco and materials used in shipping attached the colonies economically to England, the politics and religion also tied the colonies to England, but in general the English left the colonies to their own means.

The English Parliament replied with and Act in 1650, which levelled an economic imposition forcing them to accept the Parliaments authority. The Navigation Act of 1651 followed this imposition, pressuring the merchants in every colony to ship goods directly to England in England ships.

The right answer is B. The Catholic Monarchs supported Columbus in his project to reach Asia, allowing him to make four trips (in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502).
