Non-Importation

Non-Importation

Non-Importation is defined in HarperCollins dictionary as "to Not import from". Examples date back from colonial times when the colonist signed documents promising not to import certain items from Britain or Europe. "The Non-importaion agreements were in fact a promising stride toward union; they spontaneously united the American people for the first time in common action." (Page 127 of The American Pagent AP edition) A more modern example is the Non-Importation act against Cuba. The United States has refused to export to or import from Cuba because of its communist government. Non-Importation is embraced in North Carolina during 1774 by the Women of Edenton.
