Trans-Atlantic Trade and Great Britain’s mercantilist policies had been enforced ever since Christopher Columbus connected New World and Old world in 1492. These policies lead to the growth of slavery in 13 colonies, as well as legislation restricting the colonies trade. Economy of colonies was based on trade and providing raw materials.

In the late 1800's and early 1900's, European forces moved into Asia with their imperialistic views in mind. Europeans used imperialism to take advantage of land and colonies in Asia, and control their economies and government. Britain,Holland, Germany and Russia were all big parts in the European movement to Asia. Since Europe enforced imperialism, Asia would have to submit to trading with Europe, allow mining and railroad operations, accept the laws that Europe made and had to accept Christian missionaries. When the Dutch had started taking over Indonesia the only ones who really put up a fight were the warrior tribes on the island of Java.

The initial growth of the US government stemmed largely from the American Revolution in 1775 when the United States was competing with Britain for the expansion of this territory. Directly following the revolution arose the Constitution, which quickly established a governing policy over the indigenous residents. In the third clause of Article 1, Section 8, we saw the Indian Commerce Clause, which ensured that Indian tribes must be subject to federal policy under the Constitution. These policies pushed some groups out of their original settlements, while around the same time, another movement was occurring

These events were gradual, however as they compounded they eventually began encroaching upon the freedom that the colonists valued. A Chronological look at these events, and how they affected the economic, social, and political freedoms of the colonists, gives a clear picture of the reasons that lead to the American Revolutionary War and ultimately shaped the future of American culture.

The Commerce Clause is Article 1, Section 8, clause 3 of the US Constitution and it states that the Constitution empowers Congress “to regulate Commerce with Foreign nations, and among several states, and with Indian Tribes.” This clause gave Congress exclusive power over all trade activity. At the time of the creation of the clause, there was an intense rivalry among groups of states that had commercial advantages. Those advantages were the locations in proximity to major harbors and waterways. There were economic battles among the groups based on this disparity. Congress increased regulatory power with the growth and expansion of industry and the transportation of commerce.
