The Navigation Acts were a series of laws imposed by Britain on its American colonies. Its main purpose was to restrict colonial trade in order to prevent the colonies from smuggling goods from other countries. All goods that were traded with the colonies had to be sent to a British port before being sent to the colonies. That way, the British could tax the goods and they could make sure that nothing was being smuggled into the colonies. The colonists were unhappy with the laws and tensions quickly emerged.
