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.
