Synopsis

Professor Dickerson's classic study on the Navigation acts and their effect on the American colonies refutes the "traditional" view holding the Acts responsible as one of the leading causes of the American Revolution. The extensive trade and shipping regulations of the British mercantile system were actually the cement of the empire, and all Englishmen, including the colonists, benefited from the system alike.
