Seeking to reap more profit from the wealthy colonies, Britain sought to enact Mercantile Laws. Mercantile Laws forbid the Americans from exporting tobacco, sugar, rice, molasses, dye, wood, silk, hemp, naval stores, furs, and indigo to any other countries. The colonies could only trade with England and all products had to pass through England first to acquire a duty.
