 * Mercantilism can be defined as :**

In my own words this means that people were allowed to develop thier own business with the kings or queens owning them. That is a bad thing for the colonists. Also when the colonists got crops they were sent to Europe. In exchange for slaves to grow more crops Europe sent manufactured goods to Africa for more salves to the colonies. Its one big cycle.
