         <title>Iron Act 1750</title>
         <author>12461142</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/12461142/1dsuppy9hneuflfh/wish/2704659946</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This act was put into place to stem the growth of the iron industry within the colonies and minimize the competition between the mother country. It made it so that no extra forges were created within the colonies and limited where the iron that was produced could be exported. This again caused colonists to look to other more illegal ways of exporting their goods for more money. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The unification of the Northern colonies under the crown ended quickly and abruptly. The citizens of Boston revolted and captured the governor Edmund Andros. The Dominion split back into the original colonies and brought back their self governing styles.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The many acts restricting trade limiting such trade only between England and the colonies. Trade could only take place on English ships with English crews. This created a lot of animosity to England within the colonies and also led to a lot of smuggling of goods throughout the colonies.</div>]]></description>

         <link>https://padlet.com/12461142/1dsuppy9hneuflfh/wish/2711129943</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>The House of Burgesses was the first democratically elected legislative body in the colonies. The way the body was set up went on to influence legislative bodies even today. They made decisions on how things ran within their own colony based off of what they wanted, not the Crown.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This was the combination of the colonies of MA Bay, Plymouth, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, New York, and New Jersey in 1686 under the Crown. The crown did this to try and prevent the smuggling happening out of the Boston Port and retake major control of the colonies. The colonists had no say in this reformation as their elected leaders that spoke for them were replaced with governors appointed by the crown. </div>]]></description>

         <title>Mayflower Compact (November 21, 1620)</title>

         <link>https://padlet.com/12461142/1dsuppy9hneuflfh/wish/2711131547</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This was a document signed aboard the Mayflower by the Pilgrims of Plymouth. It was the first framework of government&nbsp; that was written and carried out in the territory soon to become America. It stated that they would act in the favor of the people and would abide by laws and acts that would be put in place later on within the colony. This was some of the first self rule seen in the New World and even created some sort of government within the colony.</div>]]></description>

         <link>https://padlet.com/12461142/1dsuppy9hneuflfh/wish/2711131820</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>Salutary neglect was the English knowingly not enforcing parliament policies within the colonies. This led to many colonies looking to their own methods of leading themselves. So when it finally ended and the crown tried to take back over the members of the colonies were rightfully mad.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This was a document that stated the powers and the limits of the government within Connecticut. It also established a connection between church and state which the government today does not have. This established another form of self governing within the colonies where they themselves made the decisions not the Crown.</div>]]></description>

This tax was imposed to continue the growing profits to England.

         <link>https://padlet.com/12461142/1dsuppy9hneuflfh/wish/2711133291</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This act limited the trade of wool between other countries from the colonies. England's main goal was to limit wool trading to other countries and increase their own profits. This created even more smuggling within the colonies in efforts to find cheaper and more convenient options than to the English.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>During the colonial period the colonists did have self rule. Despite the fact that they were under the Crown they governed themselves for the most part. For example, the House of Burgesses, a literal legislative body within the colonies governing a colony outside of any British enforcement. They ruled over themselves while the English were worried about their own problems at home until they began exploiting the colonies for their profits. Another example of their self rule was the entirety of Salutary Neglect. They traded with other countries under the table by their own means and prospered on their own without the guidance of the crown. They paid British authorities to not even care about them at all, and they grew and grew. Even when acts like the Iron act,&nbsp;Molasses act, and Wool act could not stop them from continuing to look for ways to avoid these English policies. No matter how hard the Crown tried to regain control the colonists still maintained their self rule, or at least tried.</div>]]></description>
