How did the british control affect the movement of goods to and from the thirteen colonies?

British control significantly restricted the movement of goods to and from the thirteen colonies through a series of mercantilist policies and navigation acts. These regulations mandated that certain commodities could only be shipped to England or its colonies, limiting trade with other nations. Additionally, British tariffs and taxes increased the cost of imported goods, further stifling colonial trade. This control fostered resentment among colonists, contributing to the desire for independence and the eventual American Revolution.
