∙ 13y agoWe talked about in my AP US History class a few months ago, so I don't really remember much. But i do remember something about Mercantilism, the colonies would ship raw goods to England and then England would ship manufactured goods back to the colonies, at a higher price. Both sides made good profit, but England probably benefited more.
