This book explores the economic factors that led to Britain
forfeiting its North American colonies. Placing discussions within
both a historical and political context, the development of the
colonial economy is examined in relation to both slavery and the
industrial revolution. In turn, changes to British tax policy
post-1760 and the increased burden placed on American taxpayers are
detailed, alongside the resentment and resistance to them. These
factors, as well as nonimportation agreements and boycotts, are
highlighted as the major motivations for the American Revolution.
This book aims to provide an accessible foundation to the economic
and political issues central to Britain's colonial activities in
North America. It will be relevant to students and researchers
interested in the political economy and economic history.
