Iron Act
bans production of finished iron goods

1750

The British Parliament passed the first Iron Act. This law made it illegal for the colonies to build new mills to produce finished iron products. On the other hand, it encouraged them to export crude forms of iron called pig iron and bar iron to Britain for finishing.
