The British used Mercantilism in relation to their North American Colonies. The principle is that the mother country, in this case Britain, would take in raw materials and resources for a low cost, if any, to produce finished goods to sell and make a profit off of. This wasn't an ideal situation for the new colonies and is part of the reason for the revolution.
