The economic system that drove European nations to create colonies in the New World was mercantilism. This system emphasized the accumulation of wealth, primarily gold and silver, through a favorable balance of trade and the establishment of colonies that could provide raw materials and serve as markets for finished goods. European powers sought to increase their national wealth and power by exploiting colonial resources and expanding their trade networks, ultimately leading to competition and conflict among nations.
European and English national identity in the colonies was symbolized through various means, including the establishment of colonial governance structures that mirrored those of the mother country, such as the use of English law and institutions. The proliferation of English cultural practices, language, and religion reinforced a sense of national identity among colonists. Additionally, the construction of monuments and the naming of places after English figures and locales served to create a tangible connection to England, fostering a collective identity rooted in European heritage.
The people that came to America revealed to the people's in the colonies their British costoms and laws with that they use the ideas to create their own government
The English economic policy toward the colonies was called mercantilism. Mercantilism basically states that the colonies exist for the good of the mother country and have no rights except what the mother country grants. This policy was not workable because of the great distance between England and the New World. The great distance forced the colonists to create their own government, and create their own rights, legal system, etc.
