This period in history is called the period of Salutary Neglect. The British had enough problems at home that they weren't as actively involved with the colonies as they previously had been. This gave the colonies the opportunity to trade with countries that the British had prevented them from trading with. Britain eventually did realize what the colonies were doing, but because it wasn't affecting their own economy, the British decided to let them trade with other countries.
