When you are under a colonial power you have to follow some certain rules, some of them have to be followed strictly. All colonies in the Americas have to follow certain rules given from their colonial power such as resources from Latin America cannot compete against Spain's resources and also merchandise.

Mercantilism was also in effect during this time period which limited the profit of the plantation and land owners in the colonies.
