In return for allowing salutary neglect England expected?

In return for allowing salutary neglect, England expected the American colonies to provide economic benefits, particularly through trade and the export of raw materials. This lenient approach was designed to foster colonial loyalty and prosperity, while minimizing direct oversight and control. Ultimately, England aimed to enhance its own economic interests without the costs associated with strict governance. However, this policy inadvertently encouraged a spirit of independence among the colonists.
