The image showcases an authentic colonial document that holds immense significance for both England and its American colonies. The document itself is a Royal Act issued by King George II of England, encouraging the cultivation of indigo plants in the southern colonies. Indigo was highly valued during this era as it served as a vital source for dyeing textiles and producing ink. Through this historic artifact, we catch a glimpse into the intricate relationship between England and its American territories. It highlights how economic interests played a pivotal role in shaping colonial policies at that time.
