Mercantilism was an economic theory whereby colonies were founded and maintained for the benefit of the mother country. Furthermore, the government had the ability to regulate its own economy with the intent of dominating over rival countries. Mercantilist countries tended to favor the creation of domestic (national) industries and businesses, and tried to discourage importing goods from other economies (usually by tariffs.) Effective mercantilism was thought to enable a country to become economically self-sufficient. This is the sort of relationship England had with the American colonies. Mercantilism dominated the economic landscape. Colonists were only able to trade with British merchants, and colonial manufacturing ventures were largely frowned upon. The British Navigation Acts regulated these policies. Smuggling was common. Politically, the British practiced a policy of salutary neglect.

This would benefit the colonial people by giving them more power, slaves to own, and more land to live and farm on.
