Richard Hakluyt was an English writer who wrote A Discourse Concerning Western Planting in 1584. He encouraged English merchants and the government to adopt a policy of maritime trade and colonial development. He spoke of many advantages to the new world such as productive soil and the use of colonial pine to make British ships. He spoke of the amount of money that could be made for the crown by taxing colonial goods and selling British Wool. He also said that the Britain's position in the Colonies gave them an advantage with their rivalry with Spain. Richard wants to send the old soldiers to go fight in the new world; he also sought to send the homeless and criminals so that they may start over in the new world.
