O knihe

The cuisine of the Thirteen Colonies was derived from
familiar traditions from the colonist's home countries,
mainly England. Many agricultural items came to the New
World through trade with England and the West Indies.
Certain familiar items grew better in the New World than
others, and this led to a dependence on imports which
drove
the daily lives of the colonists. However, the colonial
diet was increasingly supplemented by meat and plant
foods
indigenous to the New World. In the years leading up to
1776, a number of events led to a drastic change in the
diet of the American colonists. Taxes and tariffs
levied by
England increased the costs of goods and caused
colonists
to hold a grudge toward the British monarchy and British
imports. Import tariffs and taxes, and other issues,
eventually led to the American Revolution. As they
could no
longer depend on British and West Indies imports,
agricultural practices of the colonists began to
focus on
becoming completely self sufficient.
