forces were required in order to maintain the land. Because of Great Britain’s debt from the war, it could not afford to protect the recently acquired land. Consequently, through the Proclamation Act, the British ordered the colonists to continue their industries as normal and prohibited the use of the land the colonists spent the last nine years fighting for, and started imposing tax legislation that had previously been neglected (Doc F).

Consequently, colonists boycott British goods and purchase smuggled goods instead, ruining the mercantilist system previously imposed. The increase of boycotting damages the British…
