What type of products did England export? Manufactured goods Raw materials What type of products did England’s colonies export Manufactured goods Raw Materials What is Mercantilism?

Mercantilism To achieve this balance of trade, the English passed laws exclusively benefitting the British economy. These laws created a trade system whereby Americans provided raw goods to Britain, and Britain used the raw goods to produce manufactured goods that were sold in European markets and back to the colonies.

On your paper there is a chart with a set of characteristics that describe mercantilism between England and its colonies. For each characteristic, place a check in the box to indicate whether England or its colonies benefitted from mercantilism.

Characteristics of Mercantilism EnglandEnglish Colonies Colonist were not permitted to make most of the finished products made in England X Products such as tobacco and wood could only be sold to England or its colonies. X Colonists could only use English ships to trade their goods.

Solve this Math The colonies sell four bundles of timber to England. They make $_______ English manufactures sell two tables to the colonies. They make $ ______ In total England makes $______ In total colonist make $ ______ Who earned more from the sale of goods, England’s colonies or England? Explain. Who benefits most from mercantilism?
