A Proclamation to Prohibit His Majesties Subjects To Trade within the Limits Assigned to the Royal African Company of England, Except Those of the Company
-
Description
-
This Proclamation prohibited trade outside of the Royal African Company. It helped to monopolize all trade amongst the colonies. This is significant because it demonstrates England’s desire to control its colonial imports and exports. This is how the English decided to cope with the idea of needing to more closely control the colonies. It was important that all trade that took place happen only within England’s control. This would encourage economic growth in England, but it also stagnated the opportunities of those living in the colonies. This shows the amount of control that the English sought to have over their colonies. (Brillante)
