The thirteen American colonies sought to purchase goods from the West Indies primarily due to the islands' production of valuable commodities such as sugar, molasses, and rum. These goods were in high demand in the colonies for consumption and trade. Additionally, the colonies were looking to diversify their economies and enhance their access to luxury items, which were often more readily available from the West Indies due to their established plantation systems. This trade was also crucial for the colonies' economic independence and growth.
