The Navigation Act was decreed by King George III to prohibit any colonist from moving across the Appalachian mountains, but not necessarily out of their respective colonies. This law was decreed to protect the Native Americans who lived in the territory on the opposite side of the Appalachian mountains and to keep the colonists all together for better control and to more easily find them for taxing.
The Navigation Acts primarily aimed to regulate colonial trade and ensure that it benefited England. While they restricted certain trade routes and required that goods be transported on English ships, they did not explicitly prevent colonists from leaving their colonies. Colonists could travel, but their trade options were limited, affecting economic opportunities and leading to resentment towards British control.
the NAVIGATION ACTS :)
Plymouth is in Europe! It is in Devon, in the UK.
Loyalists. At the end of the war they had to leave for Canada.
because king george wanted more money /power
The colonists wanted to leave there homeland because they were looking for gold and riches in the new world. they wanted to have less diseases so therefore they had to leave.
They left England for America to be rid of religious discrimination.
They didn't leave in silence. A dock area is not a silent place and the men who threw the tea into the water were a rough bunch from the docks.
Massachusetts before she was forced to leave
Colonists left Europe to the colonies for a better life. At that time, people were much richer in the colonies than in Europe. Almost everyone owned property in the colonies, more than in England at the time. Some also left for religious freedom.
Yes, there were many religions in the colonies. There were Church of England, Quaker, Purtains, Jewish, and Catholic. For the most part few people went to church. The population was 93% farmers and many lived in rural areas, plus they couldn't leave animals and the farm for a day or two to go to church. The colonies were building a society and church took a backseat to religion.
roger Williams belived that puritans should leave the church of England and that colonist should pay native Americans for land not seize it
