The '''Prohibitory Act''' was [[legislation]] by the [[England|British]] [[Parliament]] in 1776. It cut off all [[trade]] between the [[colonies]] and England, and removed the colonies from the "[[King|King's]] Protection." In doing so, in over six months before the [[Declaration of Independence]], [[George III]] and Parliament had disbanded their relations with the colonies and proclaimed England to be at war with its former colonies. Many [[American]]s believed that the king had given them no choice but to declare [[independence]].
