9 Definition of Mercantilism
Mercantilism is a belief that the colonies exist to benefit the parent country

12 How does mercantilism work?
In the system of mercantilism, the colony sells raw materials to the mother country and the mother country sells manufactured goods to the colony…..

13 Navigation acts passed by Parliament
Colonist may ONLY sell raw materials to England Colonists may only BUY finished products from England Colonists may ONLY use English Ships (or Colonial Ships) to transport goods. 4. Colonists may not produce finished products in competition with English finished products.

14 England France Sell raw materials: Ex: tobacco farmer sells tobacco for $3.00/barrel to England America

15 Buy finished products:
Ex: tobacco farmer needs iron tools $10.00/set from England

16 Reaction/Results of Mercantilism and the Navigation Acts (laws)
Colonists felt resentful of Parliament for enacting laws to support mercantilism ENGLAND benefits from a favorable balance of trade AND taxing English merchant profits Colonists routinely engage in smuggling Triangular trade routes developed for colonists to make enough money to buy English finished products
