Kind of trade that could not be prohibited before 1808?
slave trade
Why was American trade severely disrupted during the revolutionary war?
The British controlled most of the major seaports during the war. The ports they did not control were blockaded.
What would a boycott of British goods probably have had at the time of the American Revolution?
Before American gained its independence, it was a colony of Great Britain and Great Britain's policy is that their colonies can only trade with them and no other nation. So, when the American Revolution started and a boycott was started, then U.S. would have to rely on themselves for resources or see if any other nations are willing to trade with them.
How long was the slave trade protected from constitutional amendments?
It was protected for approximately 20 years, from 1788 to 1808. Article 1, Section 9 prohibited Congress from passing any law regarding the slave trade until 1808 and Article 5 prohibited any amendment of that Article until 1808.
How did the revolutionary war lead to American patriotism?
American patriotism came about due to England's refusal to understand that their expectations: taxation without representation, high prices of trade goods, expectation that only England could trade with the colonies - were in excess of what the people could tolerate. The Revolutionary War showed England and the world that the colonies - United States by 1776 - were ready, willing and capable of ruling themselves.
