Independence

A one by one, the Continental Congress continued to cut

the colonies' ties to Britain. The Privateering Resolution,

passed in March 1776, allowed the colonists "to fit out armed

vessels to cruize [sic] on the enemies of these United

Colonies." On April 6, 1776, American ports were opened to

economic ties fostered by the Navigation Acts. A "Resolution

for the Formation of Local Governments" was passed on

May 10, 1776.
