Notes Page: Mercantilism & the 13 Colonies We will now review your notes page on Mercantilism!

Mercantilism: Definition Turn & Talk: ▫Partner 1 (purple & green stars): What is mercantilism? ▫Partner 2 (pink & yellow stars): How did the American colonists feel about “mercantilism”?

Share Out! What is “mercantilism”? At the bottom of your notes page, write the definition: ▫Mercantilism: an economic trade policy that strengthened the economy of England and hurt the economy of the 13 colonies.

The Triangular Trade: Mercantilism in Action Example of a raw material that could be sent from the 13 colonies to England to be turned into a manufactured good: The “mother country” made all of the $ by charging the colonists higher prices. Who is the “mother country” ? __________________ On the map to the left, draw the Triangular Trade by labeling the arrows with the following terms: - Raw Materials - Manufactured Goods (this should be on the map twice) - Slaves on the Middle Passage

The Navigation Acts To enforce mercantilism, England passed the NAVIGATION ACTS, (Trade Acts) beginning in These acts were designed to control trade in the colonies. These laws forced the colonies to trade only with England. Under these laws the colonies were not allowed to make any products that they could buy from England. ▫In other words, if you needed a cotton shirt, you could not purchase it from an American cloth maker—you had to buy it from England! Also, the Dutch, French, or Spanish ships could neither buy nor sell their goods directly with the colonies—the 13 colonies had to buy and sell all of their goods with __________________.

Pair-Share How did the Navigation Acts affect the 13 colonies’ economy?

Political Cartoon Analysis! 1.Who is the “mother country”? 2.Who do the maids represent? 3.Which laws did England pass to enforce mercantilism in the 13 colonies? 4.How does this cartoon demonstrate the colonist’s frustration with mercantilism?

John Hancock: Smuggler & Criminal How did American colonists respond to mercantilism?

To preview some key ideas in the activity for today, let’s check our understanding! Raise the roof” if the statement is true Wag your finger if the statement is false
