The correct answer is C The colonies had gotten used to being able to trade with whomever they wanted and paying lower taxes.
The end of salutary neglect meant that British authorities began to enforce trade regulations and tariffs more strictly, which angered the colonies that were accustomed to more autonomy in trade and lower tax burdens.
Yes, I'm sure. The end of salutary neglect meant that the British government started to enforce laws and taxes that had previously been ignored. The American colonies had become accustomed to a degree of self-governance and the ability to engage in trade as they wished, often avoiding strict adherence to British trade regulations. When Britain began to impose these regulations and taxes more rigorously, it caused dissatisfaction and anger among the colonies as they felt their freedom and economic interests were being threatened. Therefore, option C accurately explains why the end of salutary neglect made the American colonies angry.
