Why did the english discourage american industrialization? the wanted to control production. they wanted the americans to find their own plans. they had enough competition from american industries. america was the land of agrarian opportunity.

The correct answer is B) they wanted to control production.

The English discouraged American industrialization because they wanted to control production.

The policy of the British was to control production and discourage industrialization in the American colonies. Those American colonies were needed to provide raw materials and then, to consume the products fabricated in England. The British monarchy tried everything it could to prevent competition from the colonies. The monarchy prohibited the exportation of new machinery to the colonies because England should be the only place to manufacture things and create a dependency of the colonies to buy their products.  

i'm not sure what you are asking, but it also served as a debtors colony, was ran by the trustees for 20 years until becoming a royal colony, and people had restrictions such as no slaves, and only 50 acres of land per person/ hope this !
