Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
- they were able to trade freely BUT even after the war, the British were still America's leading trading partner
- the Articles of the Confederation banned the national govt!. from issuing or collecting taxes, and from controlling interstate commerce; this lowered the nation's overall economy since for the time between the war until the Constitution, the states undermined eachother's trade/etc!.

[We talked about that ^ in my govt!. class today, since we're talking about how the AoC failed to create a natl!. govt]Www@QuestionHome@Com
