 |HasArticleText===Monopoly - an infringement of rights==
-The term 'monopoly' that Americans in the time of the movement for American independence was the monopoly granted by the British crown or Parliament, against which there was no appeal or legal avenue of competition.  Such monopolies were repugnant to Americans because they were an infringement on liberty.  'Monopoly' came to mean something completely different in 19th and 20th century America and should not be confused with the founders distaste for government chartered monopolies.
+The term 'monopoly' had a meaning to Americans, in the time of the movement for American independence, that was different from how it is used today.  The one and only meaning then was the monopoly granted by the British crown or Parliament, against which there was no appeal or legal avenue of competition.  It was the government reserving a business or trade rights for a specific company or group.  Such monopolies were repugnant to Americans because they were an infringement on liberty.  'Monopoly' came to mean something completely different in 19th and 20th century America and should not be confused with the founders distaste for government chartered monopolies.
-The first monopoly that affected the colonies was the monopoly for trading and transporting colonial tobacco.  (This assumes that we overlook the fact that the Virginia Company itself was a government created monopoly.)

 ::"The (Virginia) Company was between the upper and nether millsones; it wished to handle the whole tobacco crop, the king wished to make all he could in the way of taxation, the persons who collected the taxes strove to make them as heavy as possible that their profits might be large, and the growers wished to have the freest possible market for their staple. Furthermore, the company tried to monopolize the whole import trade of the colony."
 :*One way forward from the tangle was a joint government/Company monopoly to handle the Virginia crop.  That was tried, but failed for lack of agreement.  it was ultimately the undoing of the Virginia Company.

 ::In 1641, 14 years after revocation of the Charter of 1609, a commission was given to William Berkeley to govern Virginia.  One of the articles of the commission was that Virginia tobacco could be shipped only to England and only in English vessels; and that only English vessels were permitted to trade in Virginia.

 :*Nonetheless, it was apparent that Maryland favored, or at least tolerated Catholics.  For this reason, many protestans sought out Virginia or New England rather than Maryland.

 Some colonists were recruited and sent to Virginia by capitalists seeking to develop tobacco plantations.  The grants they obtained usually had provisions for land in proportion the number of people they transported to Virginia.
 :*It was the liberty of the capitalist grantees to order the government of the people settled on their land.  Such governments could not be 'repugnant to the laws of England'.
