Spain imposed several restrictions on American trade, particularly through the Navigation Acts, which mandated that trade between Spain's colonies and other nations could only occur through Spanish ships. This limited the colonies' ability to trade freely with other countries, stifling economic growth and fostering resentment among colonists. Additionally, Spain often enforced monopoly practices on certain goods, further controlling the flow of commerce. These restrictions contributed to rising tensions that eventually played a role in the fight for independence in many Spanish colonies.
