Most people born and educated in the United States have some lingering childhood memories of lessons in American history regarding the East India Company, the Hudson's Bay Company, the Massachusetts Bay Company or any number of other such entities. These were the joint stock corporations and charter companies used as vehicles by Europeans to commercialize North America. It was these companies that controlled the trade in and out of the colonies, profited from the export of rice, sugar, tobacco, fish and furs and from the import of slaves, European manufactures, and products of other colonies. It was the East India Company's tea that was thrown into the bay at the Boston Tea Party.
