"The British merchants represented that they received some profit indeed from Virginia and South Carolina, as well as the West Indies; but as for the rest of this continent, they were constant losers in trade"
- Ezra Stiles
About this Quote
This quote by Ezra Stiles is referring to the British merchants' trade with the American nests. The British merchants were making a profit from their trade with Virginia and South Carolina, along with the West Indies. However, they were not making a profit from the remainder of the American nests. This recommends that the British merchants were refraining from doing well in their trade with the other American colonies, and were instead losing cash. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as the nests not having the resources to trade, or the British merchants not having the right products to trade with the colonies. Whatever the reason, it is clear that the British merchants were not doing well in their trade with the American nests.
