Answer 13

ritish consumers had become fond of cotton garments, particularly brightly colored prints from India known as calicoes. Cotton was lighter, easier to wash, and quicker to dry than wool. Indeed, cotton was so popular that British wool producers persuaded Parliament to pass a series of laws known as the Calico Acts of 1720 and 1721. The Acts prohibited the import of cotton cloth, and restricted the sale of calicoes in Britain. The law even required corpses to be buried in woolen shrouds. Even so, consumer demand for cotton products continued to grow. The demand was so great that domestic producers had to speed up the spinning and weaving process to keep up.
