As part of mercantilism, England listed special products from the colonies that could be sold only to British merchants. These special, or "enumerated," products were sugar, tobacco, cotton, indigo, and later rice, molasses, naval stores (tar, pitch, etc.), furs, and iron. English merchants were allowed to sell those goods to whoever they choose as long as they were first taken to England or Scotland where a tariff (tax) would be added to them. For example, if a Virginian planter wished to sell his tobacco, he could only sell it to an English merchant. The English merchant then had to take it to England, pay taxes on it there, and then sell it to whomever. According to the text, which of the following was NOT a characteristic of enumerated goods?
A. They could only be sold to colonists

B. Special taxes were added to them before being sold

C. The goods had to be taken to England before being sold

D. They could only be sold to British merchants

Why were chinese american immigrants frequently detained when trying to immigrate through angel island? the rules for immigration were stricter at this checkpoint due to health issues that were prevalent among asian populations at this time. the location of the island was difficult to reach, and ships to the mainland were often prevented from sailing more than once a week. immigration agents were notorious for asking immigrants confusing questions as a means of denying them entry. low wages caused a shortage of immigration officials, so many immigrants had to wait weeks or months before their applications were processed.
