Here are the teacher pack items for Mercantilism:
Overview In this experience, students learn about the economic philosophy of mercantilism and its effect on the American colonies. They explore how the British enforced this policy on the colonies, and how the colonists responded. Objective:
Economics can have a big impact on the development of historical events. In this lesson, you will learn about the economic system called mercantilism and how it shaped the British colonies.
Objective:
What do you think the British government saw as the main purpose of the colonies?
Think about what you have learned so far about these countries’ colonization activities in the seventeenth century, and try to infer how the Anglo-Dutch wars may be connected to the British colonies in North America.
The wars were fought between the English and the Dutch for control over the seas and trade routes. The British colonies were a critical piece of the triangular trade routes that developed.
