I read this from my history book -
Many ships owned by the colonial merchants followed a direct route between the New England ports and England. They followed this route because the English government insisted . It wanted the colonists to send their exports, or goods leaving a country, only to England or other English colonies. The English government also expected to buy only English made imports, or goods brought back from a country.

How did Eng lands try to control trade with its American colonies?
England sought to control trade with its American colonies primarily through the Navigation Acts, which mandated that colonial goods be shipped exclusively on English ships and required certain products, like tobacco and sugar, to be exported only to England. This regulation aimed to ensure that England benefited economically from colonial resources while preventing other nations from trading directly with the colonies. Additionally, by imposing tariffs and duties on imports and exports, England aimed to generate revenue and maintain economic dominance over colonial trade. Such measures ultimately fueled colonial resentment and contributed to the desire for independence.
