Answer to Question 1

b. Wages of New England sailors increased. The Navigation Acts made it more difficult (raised the price) for foreign sailors and ships to trade with the colonies. This increase in the price of trading with the colonies led to an increase in demand for merchant ships and companies from New England, and this increase in demand led to higher wages and numbers of sailors hired. Southern plantation owners and Middle colony farmers produced their goods for export. The Navigation Acts, raised the cost of exports to foreign nations, which reduced the quantity sold and produced.

Answer to Question 2

c. Large growth in the number of general stores
