From the earliest years of colonial England was hostile to their attempts to develop its industry and trade. The metropolis of the colony used as raw materials for the agro-for cheap raw materials developing industry and metropolitan markets as a British manufactured goods in order to increase profits. Because of this parliament of England has repeatedly issued laws aimed at arresting the development of productive forces of the colonies. For example, the 1765 law on stamp duty taxed marriage documents, trade agreements, documents about the inheritance, all sorts of official documents, publications, etc. The colonies had their representatives of the British Parliament, and therefore believed that the imposition of discriminatory taxes by Parliament, taxes, tariffs, contrary to natural law – expressed through their representatives, their own attitudes to new taxation. In addition, restraining the growth of the productive forces of the colonies, the British government conducted ceaseless struggle with skvatterstvom, ie, unauthorized occupation of land.
For example, in 1763, has issued a special law on Prohibition of colonists to settle west of the Allegheny Mountains. The issue of land acquired so intense, especially in central and southern colonies. that led to armed uprisings of Free Farmers (states New York and North Carolina) against the large landowners. The situation in the colonies is further exacerbated by the fact that along with bourgeois relations continued to exist and feudal relations, which demanded the abolition of rebellious farmers. Thus, England, in which the course of the bourgeois revolution destroyed the feudal relations of production is not going to abandon them to their colonies.
