SWBAT explain Mercantilism

To Meet Big Goals…

The Mother country (England) controls trade in order to export more than it imports

Mother country gains more money

SC source of raw materials and a market for manufactured good

Lessened England’s dependency on foreign trade

Mercantilism

England offered subsidies for indigo

Rice and indigo could only be sold to England (but did not enforce this for rice)

SC had a wider market for rice—thus raising the price

SC planters had a secure market for these cash crops

Controlling the Trade

Route One—African slaves are transported to the Americas to be sold as slaves

Route Two—The Americas are sending raw materials (cash crops) to Europe so Europe can turn them into manufactured goods (textiles, furniture, etc.)

Route Three—Europe sends manufactured good to Africa and the Americas to make money
