The European States pursued a policy of mercantilism in the 15th-18th centuries because they believed that it would improve the economies at the metropole.
Mercantilism was an economy theory that posited that the wealthiest nation, particularly in terms of precious metals, would be the most powerful. The demand of the precious metals by the developed countries was one of the causes of mercantilism.
A clinical definition of mercantilism would be, with a lot of truth to it, that it is the system that every country denounces and that every country practices. The most effective (and easiest to get away with) form of trade mercantilism is now used by the PRC, and it is based on manipulating the foreign exchange rate.
Mercantilism is, in basic terms, trade within an empire, meaning no importing or exporting from foreign providers. The goal of such a system would be self-growth of the traders/companies within the empire.
The role that mercantilism played was that the Europeans wanted to be more wealth so they sent people to explore a new lands to make crops and objects that they can sell for more money. The European countries at the time wanted to become wealthier in order to have more power. They wanted to export more and import less. A nation does not have all the resources so many nations set out to find new lands. Many nations created colonies such as England. They began to enforce laws so that the colonies sent the country the raw material, they would manufacture then sell it. This would increase a nation's power.
No, Lincoln knew that there would be no way to enforce it because he had no control over the southern states. He made the emancipation proclamation to make the civil war about slavery so that England would not interfere and help the Confederacy. The British might have stepped in to support the confederacy gain independence, but when the war became about slavery, they had no interest in the issue of helping slaves.
That would be the Emancipation Proclamation.

He was able to issue it because the North had won the important battle of Antietam, so his credibility was restored after a summer of defeats. As for enforcing it, he was not in a position to dictate to the Southern states. But the real purpose of the Proclamation was to keep Britain and France from aiding the Confederacy - it would have made them look pro-slavery themselves. In this, it was entirely successful.
The main purpose of issuing the Emancipation Proclamation was international propaganda, as it had no actual effect in either the north or the south as written. It freed no slaves in northern slave states still loyal to the Union and although it declared the slaves to be free in those states then in rebellion against the Union there was no means available to enforce it. Thus all slaves prior to the Emancipation Proclamation still remained in slavery after it. Only after the Civil War was over did Union soldiers have the ability to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in the south. The slaves in the northern states that did not rebel still remained slaves until the Thirteenth Amendment completely abolished slavery (as the Emancipation Proclamation explicitly left them slaves to prevent having those states rebel too during the Civil War).
Lincoln made the argument that the Emancipation Proclamation was a military necessity. Lincoln believed the proclamation would weaken the South.
mercantilism introduced to Elizabeth 1 by hakluyt . Mercantilism is the belief that a nation should export more than the import. The Act of exporting is an economic gain for a nation vs. economic lost with importing. In the 1600's and 1700's the countries were focused on exporting the new world and also surrounding countries. They created commerce laws with any trading would be under English rule and would be on english ships which mean that english was making a profit off of all trading.
