I believe you're slightly confused. Mechantalism was an economic theory that said that for a country to be wealthy and powerful, it had to export more than it important and the colonies were to be founded for the sole purpose of making money for the mother country. Britain founded its American colonies because of this theory.
Answer choices would be helpful here.However, the general difference between mercantilism and capitalism is that mercantilism is more restrictive than capitalism. Mercantilism is the economic policy that a metropole should have a number of colonies that provide it material wealth, unrefined resources, and a market for its goods. As a result, according to mercantilism, the colonies were required 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. As a result the colonies would provide wealth to the metropole by trading their natural resources for less than they would be worth and by buying manufactures for much more money.As a result, entrepreneurial colonists that wanted to make manufactures or to trade with other parties engaged in smuggling. This kind of smuggling disappears significantly when trade restrictions are lifted.
Mercantilism involved strict governmental control over the colonies to maintain the largest margin of wealth possible. Such control required strong centralized governments rather than the small scattered kingdoms that had existed during the feudal era. As smaller kingdoms merged together to form nations under one ruler, they were better able to compete in the mercantilist system

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.
