Section Review

What was the role of the colonies in the British mercantilist system? The English crown pursued mercantilist policies and stretched it to the America’s through the Navigation Acts. The colonies role in the British mercantilist system was to produce raw materials and goods. Then they would export it ONLY to England where it would be re-exported into finished products.

Explain the causes and the results of the Glorious Revolution in England and America. The one main cause of the Glorious Revolution in England was James II. He aggravated many political authorities in England and rejected all their advice. When James II’s Catholic wife had a son, the parliament had to do something in fear of another Catholic heir to the throne. They didn’t want another James II, and that was in store unless the rebelled. Protestant bishops and parliamentary leaders in the Whig party led the rebellion, backed up by the majority of the people and the military. This resulted in James’ daughter to his first wife to be queen and her husband to be King. This was William of Orange and Mary. They, forced, gave the Whig party more power and created a constitutional monarchy. The rebellion in America was similar, because the one in England sparked it. Puritan leaders and military seized their governor, Andros, and sent him back to England, mainly for his strong support of following the English Church. The poor farmers, whose prices were falling, were tired of being taxed by Catholic officials. This resulted up in the Dominion of England to be broken up. This included the King appointing government officials, land-owning men to vote, and no Puritan restrictions on the Church of England.

How did the South Atlantic System work, and what were its major elements? How did it shape the development of the various colonies? Britain’s attention on the American colonies reproduced the growth of a new agricultural and commercial order

    Even before the French and Indian Wars, Britain had passed two major laws known as Mercantilism and Navigation Acts. "Mercantilism was the theory of trade adopted by the major European powers from roughly 1500 to 1800" (Mercantilism, Us-History, Online). It advocated that a country should import more than it exported. "Trade laws ensured that manufactured exports to North America would have greater value than colonial primary products imported to Britain." (Krawczynski). This was a theory used to raise money for the mother country. "If one nation hoped to grow richer, it had to do so at the expense of some other nation" (Mercantilism, Us-History, Online). The concept of mercantilism affirmed that the sole purpose of the colonies was to provide for Britain and by this theory Americans were restricted economically.…

    Compared to other countries, Britain’s colonies proved to be the most successful economically, and even though the credit of this has usually been given to their mercantilist policies, it was a combination of factors that also included success in wars and demographic dominance. Colonization in the Americas was both widespread and competitive through the European continent, with countries vying against each other for the new territory with hopes that their success in the New World would assist their needs in Europe.…

    The British North American colonies grew considerably between 1600 and 1763. Imports and exports across the Atlantic caused a constant demand for labor in the colonies. The British colonies supplied raw goods as well as some manufactured goods for countries around the world especially in Europe. As the demand for cash crops and raw materials from the Americas grew, the demand for labor also increased. Trans-Atlantic interactions fostered continuity in the demand for labor in the British North American colonies from 1600 to 1763 but also fostered changes in the sources of labor.…

    The Glorious Revolution was a political coup that took place in Great Britain during the mid-17th century;the main cause of this conflict was growing Protestant concern over King James II’s strict adherence to his Catholic faith. This conflict is also known as the Revolution of 1688, and it resulted in the solidification of Parliament's power over the monarch and the Catholic King James II being replaced by his daughter, the Protestant Queen Mary, and her husband King William III. Although this was a political conflict that resulted in the deposition of a ruling monarch, it was a relatively peaceful transition in military terms, resulting in the little bloodshed. The Glorious Revolution affected the colonies by resulting in the dissolution…

    The Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909 (ch. 6, 36 Stat. 11), named for Representative Sereno E. Payne (R-NY) and Senator Nelson W. Aldrich (R-RI), began in the United States House of Representatives as a bill lowering certain tariffs on goods entering the United States.[1] It was the first change in tariff laws since the Dingley Act of 1897.[2] President William Howard Taft called Congress into a special session in 1909 shortly after his inauguration to discuss the issue. Thus, the House of Representatives immediately passed a tariff bill sponsored by Payne, calling for reduced tariffs. However, the United States Senate speedily substituted a bill written by Aldrich, calling for fewer reductions and more increases in tariffs.[2]…

    George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. His parents were Augustine Washington (1694-1743) and his second wife, Mary Ball Washington (1708-89). Mary gave birth at his family's plantation on Pope's Creek in Westmoreland County, in the British colony of Virginia. After Washington's father had passed away when he was about 11, it's likely that he helped his mother manage the plantation. By the late 1760s, Washington had experienced firsthand the effects of rising taxes imposed on American colonists by the British, and came to believe that it was in the best interests of the colonists to declare independence from England. Washington served as a delegate to the First Continental Congress in 1774 in Philadelphia. By the time the Second Continental Congress convened a year later, the American Revolution had begun in earnest, and Washington was named commander in chief of the army.…

    Trans-Atlantic Trade

    The role of trans-Atlantic trade and Great Britain’s mercantilist policies in the economic development of the British North American colonies in the period from 1650 to 1750 was to create the colonies into self-sufficient areas of living. Triangular trade within the United States, Great Britain, the West Indies, and Africa helped to distribute and/or import and export essential factors. The theory of mercantilism is “that a state should be as economically self-sufficient as possible” and it stipulates that in order to build economic strength, a nation must export more than it imports. The mercantilist policies of Great Britain were rules and regulations that every country and colony participating in the trans-Atlantic trade had to abide by. These rules helped build a firm ground for those countries and colonies, like the British North American colonies that were trying to become financially dependent on themselves.…
