Notes page 3• Background Info:
– England is a “superpower” with the strongest Navy and control of all ocean trade,
– Mercantilism: A system where the mother country (England) establishes colonies (13 colonies) to use as a trading partner. This way the mother country can increase wealth by having a favorable balance of trade (Exports>Imports)
• Example: England establishes a colonies in the America so it can have plenty of cotton to make textiles with in its factories. This way it doesn’t have to import the cotton from another country. Saves $$
Triangular Trade

Notes 4Background
• Why did people come to the colonies?– Economic opportunity: the chance to make
money, esp. in the South in agriculture.• Primogeniture: a law in England which only
allowed 1st born sons to inherit land.
– Religious Freedom: Puritans and pilgrims were escaping the Church of England. They came to New England to reform their church.
• Who came and why:– 1620: Pilgrims come over on the Mayflower to found their new church
and practice religion freely– 1630: Puritans take over pilgrims. Both groups wanted to escape the
Church of England. – Puritans are so strict they establish a theocracy in Massachusetts,
forcing other colonists to leave also in search of religious freedom and tolerance.
• Climate/Geography:– N.E. is cold and the soil is bad for farming.– Small pieces of land given to single families
• Economy:– Indentured servants are brought over to work.– Manufacturing and trading centers (wealthy and busy harbors like
Boston)– Shipbuilding

to gain land and make $$. – Southern colonies were founded by men looking to increase
their wealth through agriculturethey are called “Proprietors”
• Climate/Geography:– Fertile Soil, great for Cash Crops (cotton & tobacco)
• Economy:– Plantation System (wealthy families who owned huge
pieces of land and slaves)– Depended on Slaves to work the plantation– Produced the crops/raw materials for the Triangular Trade.
