2. allowed Great Britain to raise revenue (money) to pay for the French and Indian War and control trade
3. encouraging immigration to the colonies
4. encourage Americans to trade with other European countries.

Early 18th century british industries were generally small scale and relatively unsophisticated. most textile production, for example, was centred on small workshops or in the homes of spinners, weavers and dyers: a literal ‘cottage industry’ that involved thousands of individual manufacturers. such small-scale production was also a feature of most other industries, with different regions specialising in different products: metal production in the midlands, for example, and coal mining in the north-east.two illustrations of 18t
