Mercantilism, with its emphasis on strict government control over trade and the accumulation of wealth through exports, often led to economic dissatisfaction among colonists. Heavy taxation and trade restrictions imposed by European powers, particularly Great Britain, fueled resentment and a desire for independence. The perceived injustices of mercantilist policies ignited revolutionary sentiments, as colonists sought greater economic freedom and self-governance. Ultimately, this discontent contributed to movements that challenged colonial authority and led to revolutions, such as the American Revolution.
