Mercantilism
I think that the colonists would have agreed because it is true.
Colonies enriched a mother country primarily through the extraction of valuable resources, such as raw materials and precious metals, which were often not available in the mother country. They provided a captive market for manufactured goods, allowing the mother country to boost its economy and industrial growth. Additionally, colonies often generated profits through trade and agriculture, contributing to the overall wealth and power of the mother country. This relationship fostered economic dependency, where the mother country benefited significantly from the labor and resources of its colonies.
Mercantilism was the basic policy imposed by Britain on its colonies. The colonies were captive markets for British industry, and the goal was to enrich the mother country.
Mercantilism impacts the colony and the mother country by establishing a system where the colony serves primarily to enrich the mother country. Colonies provide raw materials and resources that the mother country transforms into finished goods for export, thereby generating wealth and strengthening its economy. This relationship often leads to restricted trade practices, limiting the colony's economic independence and reinforcing the mother country's dominance in global trade. Ultimately, while the mother country benefits from increased wealth, colonies may experience exploitation and lack of economic development.
History Hw?

New land to populate, grow foodstuff for the mother country they enslaved the indigenious people, produced extra materials to sell to the market in the mother country to make money. They also spreaded their religion into the new world.
