Did they have matchstick factories int he 18th century?
No. Matches were still largely made either at home, or by the local chemist or apothecary.
A match was a thin slice of wood about 3in in length with either end dipped in sulfur. A spark was required to ignite the sulfur, so a tinderbox would still be required. However, since sulfur is highly flammable, it wasn't difficult to light one of these "chemical matches".
Such matches were often used repeatedly until the sulfur was burned up completely. The remaining wood was then used as tinder for starting larger fires.
Strikeable, manufactured matches would not appear until the 19th century.
Why did people want to sail during the 18th century?
One of the reasons why sailing was so prominent in the 18th century was because of the Age of Imperialism. Europeans were mainly at the forefront during the age of sailing ships. By the 18th century, European powers were racing to sail over the world and take control of colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. At the time, the more colonies a country possessed, the more influential they were and the higher their status was among other powers. European powers sought resources and wanted to spread their civilized culture around the world.
In a more general sense, the Age of Imperialism also coincided with the Age of Sail. As new economies and markets popped up in European colonies, international trade bolstered. Transporting goods by sea was necessary and very efficient. It endured long after the 18th century as well, until steam engines and steamships were invented. A lot of international trade today is still heavily reliant on cargo ships.

What were the American weapons of 1700's?
Weapon's at this time were limited. The most common were the rifle and shotgun (fowler). Eye glasses were not common and a shotgun was very popular for hunting at close distances. Hunting knives and skinning knives would also have been used. Clubs and Tomahawks were very common. Swords were rare! Blades would have been imported from England and the hilt and handle would have been fabricated locally. In time of war plug bayonet would have been used. Knives generally grew in length in time of war and were shortened during peace time. Clubs were more often a weapon of urgency when nothing else was at hand. The tomahawks were perhaps the most common due to their functionality.
