Hatters' complaint over New England exports to sugar colonies
The Historical Register notes that New England exports hats to Spain Portugal and West Indies and that ironwork still houses and sugar bakers exist. It cites Kip van Dam claiming no manufactures threaten Britain, while New York imports woollen goods and New Jersey alleges limited trade. Pensylvania reports no export of woollen or linen manufactures and notes local shipbuilding for the West Indies.
