Land argues that the three cities developed large, global networks of maritime commerce and exchange that created tension between merchants and the British Empire which sought to enforce mercantilist policies to constrain American trade to within the British Empire. Colonial merchants created and then expanded their mercantile networks well beyond the confines of the British Empire. This trans-imperial trade (often considered smuggling by British authorities) formed the roots of what became known as the American Revolution"-- SN - 9789004542693 kovakantinen KW - 1700-talet KW - Hamnar KW - Internationell handel KW - Nordamerikanska frihetskriget 1775-1783 KW - Ekonomisk historia KW - Economic history KW - International trade KW - Harbors KW - Förenta staterna ER -
