The requirement for American colonists to trade only with England was largely established by the Navigation Acts, enacted in the 17th century. These laws aimed to ensure that colonial trade benefited England economically by controlling the flow of goods and restricting trade with other nations. This mercantilist policy was intended to bolster England's wealth and power by monopolizing colonial resources and markets, ultimately leading to colonial resentment and contributing to the desire for independence.

Under the Navigation Acts, if a colonist bought cloth from France, the cloth would be subject to customs duties upon arrival in the colonies. The Acts mandated that certain goods could only be shipped to England or its colonies on English ships, meaning that the colonist would likely face additional taxes or restrictions. Furthermore, the colonist would have to pay import duties, thereby increasing the cost of the cloth. Ultimately, these regulations aimed to ensure that England benefited economically from colonial trade.
