mercantilism
the middle Colonies
After the Seven Years' War (also known in America as the French and Indian War), England's debt had greatly increased. The mother country turned to her colonies, who had paid little to nothing for their protection during the war. Taxes in the colonies began to increase as multiple laws and acts were passed, including the Sugar Act (1764) , the Stamp Act (1765), and the Quartering Act (1765). As taxes grew, resentment of the mother country grew. Numerous rebellions and uprisings occurred, such as the Boston Tea Party. The colonists were not initially looking for independence from the mother country, only more relaxed laws. However colonists eventually snapped and, starting with the Lexington Massacre, war broke out.

Mother country is what England was called during the Colonial period in America. This was when America had not yet gained it independence and America was known as the "New World" while England was known as the "Old World" or the "Mother Country." This was because England was kind of like a "Mother" to the United States because of the fact that they still had power over the U.S.
The middle Colonies were known as the "Breadbasket Colonies" because of their large exports of grains to other colonies and Europe.
A system by which a country maintains colonies outside its borders is known as colonialism. In this system, a powerful country establishes political, economic, and cultural control over a territory that is geographically distant from its own. Colonial powers often exploit the resources and labor of the colonies for their own benefit.
Mercantilism was the economic policy European monarchs used in order to enrich their country via exporting more than importing in the trade's market. During mercantilism's peak it was a very effective tool for the monarchs at that time in causing the enrichment.
