<span>Prior to the conclusion of the Seven Years War there was little, if any, reason to believe that one day the American colonies would undertake a revolution in an effort to create an independent nation-state.

Certain enumerated goods whether exported or imported by the colonies had to be shipped through England regardless of the final port of destination.</span>
