Question 20

Salutary neglect was the British policy of loosely enforcing colonial trade laws. It led to colonial self - governance growth, economic prosperity via smuggling, and a sense of colonial autonomy. When Britain later tightened control, it sparked colonial resentment.

The Proclamation of 1763 prohibited colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains. It aimed to avoid Native - colonist conflicts and keep colonists on the coast for British control. Colonists resented it as it restricted land expansion.

The French and Indian War doubled the British debt. In turn, they began heavily taxing the colonists (e.g., Stamp Act, Townshend Acts) to pay off the debt.

Answer:

Salutary neglect was Britain's lax enforcement of colonial trade laws. It led to colonial self - rule development, economic independence (smuggling), and later resentment when Britain tried to control colonies.
