Should the government prevent beta's domination of the market so that there are other places where people can buy the things they want?

I don't know what BETA is but yes absolutely. Competition is always better for consumers or you end up with what happened with the airlines or cable networks. Three or four companies that peacefully coexist, meaning higher prices and a worse product.

i belive the continental association was created to boycott all contact with british goods.

i also belive it was in december 1, 1774

a plantation economy is an economy based on agricultural mass production, usually of a few commodity crops grown on large farms called plantations. plantation economies rely on the export of cash crops as a source of income.

i hope this : )
