Britain had something to do with mercantilism, and they used the colonists to benefit themselves.
To increase the nation's (great Britain's) total wealth
Mercantilism significantly influenced Great Britain and its colonies by promoting a system where the colonies existed primarily to benefit the mother country. This economic theory encouraged the accumulation of wealth through a favorable balance of trade, leading Britain to impose strict regulations on colonial trade to ensure that raw materials were sent back to Britain for manufacturing. In turn, the colonies were often restricted in their trade with other nations, fostering resentment and contributing to the desire for independence as they sought greater economic autonomy and opportunities. Overall, mercantilism shaped the economic relationship between Great Britain and its colonies, ultimately sowing the seeds of conflict.

Mercantilism consists of high tariffs, a monopoly on trade, and low wages. The colonies were only allowed to trade with Great Britain and then they had to buy back the goods that they had originally sold to them except Great Britain had manufactured them into other items.
Britain used Mercantilism to create a very favorable balance of trade for themselves. Parliament used the policy of Mercantilism to exclusively benefit Britain above anyone else. The colonies were to sell raw materials to Britain, where they would then be manufactured into products to be sold in Europe, and back in the colonies. The arrangement banned the colonists from competing with manufacturing.
