Question

what was calico act

answer fast please​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Calico Acts banned the import of most cotton textiles into England, followed by the restriction of sale of most cotton textiles. It was a form of economic protectionism, largely in response to India, which dominated world cotton textile markets at the time.

In 1720, the British government banned the use of chintz in England. This Act was known as the Calico Act. Once the government protection began, the calico printing industry was the first to grow. In this industry, Indian designs were imitated and printed on white muslin or plain unbleached Indian cloth
