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.
The main purpose of England's mercantilist policy was to maximize profits through monopoly within colonies. American colonies were exploited by England for their raw materials, which were shipped to England for processing and sold back to other colonies at a significant mark up.
