22 déc. 1775 - Prohibitory Act
Description:
The Prohibitory Act, passed by the British Parliament in 1775, declared America to be in open rebellion and effectively instituted a naval blockade of the colonial ports. This act was part of Britain's attempt to suppress the burgeoning American rebellion and cut off the colonies' trade with the rest of the world, further escalating the conflict that led to the American Revolution.Ajouté au bande de temps:
