The American merchant ships had to deal with laws about shipping and trading. They brought goods from British and French colonies to the American ports, then reshipped them as U.S. goods. Legally the goods had to be actually imported before being reshipped, but whether they were in fact imported was hard to prove.

What were caravels and how were they better than what they replaced?

Caravels were a type of small, highly maneuverable sailing ship developed by the Portuguese in the 15th century. They were better than the ships they replaced, such as cogs and carracks, because they had a more streamlined hull design, allowing for greater speed and agility. Caravels also had triangular lateen sails that could catch wind from different directions, enabling them to sail closer to the wind and explore new trade routes more efficiently.
