According to the mercantilist theories, the colonies were to provide markets for the mother country. The colonies were seen as markets for the mother country where the manufactured goods that were produced in the mother country were then sold to the colonists at very high prices.

American colonists didn't agree with the idea of selling cheap natural resources and buying very expensive manufactured goods to the British Empire. This was one of the colonists' complaints that led to the American Revolution.
