I suppose your talking about British colonies in the Americas. Each was suppose to trade only with England. But it made more sense to trade with Bermuda for rum and Massachusetts for fish instead of have those products go to England and then back to Virginia for example. Makes sense to trade with other specialized economies that are close.
