What was the impact of the British policy of mercantilism?
Mercantilism was the European way of life from the 1600s to the 1800s. The idea was to encourage a balance of trade and to economically challenge foreign powers. It was also a counter measure against absolutism. Although much of Europe was a monarchy, complete control of the people in terms of economics was discouraged. Most absolute monarchies were inherited.
What colonies were in debt to England through trade?
Great Britain practiced a policy of mercantilism, where its colonies existed solely to benefit the mother country. This aggressive economic policy, coupled with the Navigation Acts which forced the colonies to engage in trade with Britain only, resulted in a massive deficit of the colonies to the British Crown. Up until the beginning of the American Revolution, most, if not all, of the original thirteen colonies were indebted to Great Britain.
What was the American reaction to mercantilism?
First, we need to define British mercantilist policy. This policy required the colonies to engage in two general behaviors: (1) The colonies were locked into exclusive trade between the colonies and the metropole and were not allowed to trade with any other nation or colony. (2) No manufactures or complex goods could be made in the colonial territory. By and large, Americans reacted to British mercantilist policy, by blatantly violating it. The colonists engaged in large scale smuggling with their neighbors to acquire other materials and sell goods that were locally-produced. Conversely, several small manufacturing plants were built in the colonies to deal with the shortfall and high expense of British-produced manufactures.
