Salutary neglect refers to the enforcement of trade and parliamentary laws with the English crown. These laws were maintained to keep the English colonies under the control of the crown.
Step-by-step explanation:
Salutary neglect were a set of laws which made the American colonies feel a sense of freedom. The colonies weer loyal to the crown and the English crown left free to govern themselves. After the seven years war, the English monarch George III wanted to capitalize from the English colonies in America. He was left in a position to compensate huge war debts after the french and Indian wars, Britain was in a post war depression and hence to stabilize the economy, the king decided to reap profits from the colonies.
It was the time when salutary neglect was followed in the colonies and they had set up their own system of trade and manufacturing laws and became increasingly self sufficient. in order to obtain some finance from the colonies, the English crown taxed the colonists heavily with a series of acts such as Townshend act, revenue act, stamp act, sugar act, Tea act etc., this aggravated the annoyance of the colonists who were not given a chance to vent out their frustration in the English parliament and hence the civilians divided among themselves into loyalists and patriots who started to plunge into protests against the heavy taxes levied by the crown and thereby the oppression of the colonists. Protests such as Boston tea party marked the colonists anger and frustration against the British. This led to the way towards the American Independence.
