Prohibitory Act
text:
The Prohibitory Act was British legislation in late 1775 that cut off all trade between the Thirteen Colonies and England and removed the colonies from the King's protection. In essence, it was a declaration of economic warfare by Britain as punishment to the American colonies for the rebellion against the King and British rule that became known as the American Revolutionary War. The Prohibitory Act references two acts passed by the last session of Parliament that were known as the Restraining A
