 * Mercantilism and the American Colonies﻿**

In the 1600's England began colonizing the Atlantic Coast in North America. The English colonists in North America were politically and economically ruled by the English King. However this was no easy rule for the King. The colonists lived thousand of miles away in another hemisphere.

"With the acquisition of colonies came the recognition that their purpose was to satisfy the needs of the mother country. The regulation of economic activities in the colonies, then, centered around the accumulation of wealth for the European powers, at the colonies' expense." []
 * Mercantilism** was the economic policy that England used to rule the colonies. This policy can be defined as,

So, the colonists were, in theory, not allowed to develop their own businesses. Ideally they were to supply England with raw materials and then they would buy her manufactured goods. However, England did not actually enforce their mercantilist economic policy until the 1780's. This was called **salutary neglect.** This beneficial neglect meant that the colonists actually were left alone to develop their own economic 'style.' The economic sytstem that the colonists developed was free enterprise. This meant they could own their own property, make a profit and not have the government control them. Consumers would ideally enjoy more choices and lower prices.

High tariffs, especially on manufactured goods; Monopolizing markets with staple ports Exclusive trade with colonies; Forbidding trade to be carried in foreign ships; Export subsidies; Banning all export of gold and silver Promoting manufacturing with research or direct subsidies Limiting wages; Maximizing the use of domestic resources; Restricting domestic consumption with non-tariff barriers to trade. from **MARK** is this what i am supposed to put.
