sep 13, 1651 - Navigation Acts

Description:

The Navigation Acts of 1651 were regulations that dictated where colonial producers could ship their goods, demanded that colonists had to ship goods in English ships, and stated that they were only allowed to sell their goods to England. The main purpose of this was to ensure that other rival countries would not gain business from English resources. As stated, colonists depended on their resources and good relations with the Natives in order to be successful. The first major conflict that affected those relations was King Philip’s War.
