Colonies had to sacrifice their well being as a colony to provide raw material for their mother country.

- forced only to trade and carry their goods only by English colony-built ships and crew

- had to buy and sell food to the mother country they sold a lot of things to the mother country and received little giving the colonies a down fall. and they were limited on what country to buy from which the only one they could buy from was Great Britain the mother country.

-the government took control of the industries which restricted them from making their own material like cooking pots, furnishing, clothing etc.

-mercantilism was done to the belief that there was little money on earth and to make the mother country richer they created mercantilism to rich them more land= more wealth especially if the land belongs to the mother country and is being used by colonies not cities
