The statement, <em>American Individualism was sufficient to promote America's emergence as an industrial power in the late 19th century is </em><em>true</em> since it's associated with American Individualism with a view of freedom to achieve based upon one's talents, abilities, and ambition. It is reflected during the 18th century and 19th Century when Europe first experienced a dramatic rise in technological inventions which ushered the Industrial Revolution. It increased individual wealth, productivity, and technology led to the emergence of urban centres. Serfs and peasants were expelled from their ancestral lands thus flocking into the cities in search of factory jobs, thus increasing the city populations of cities which became increasingly diverse
Answer:
Parliament's decision to regulate transatlantic commerce with its American colonies was motivated by mercantilism. All shipments to or from British North America had to be made on British ships, and any shipments bound for Europe had to first arrive in Britain in order to be taxed there. Only to Britain might certain products be shipped.

Explanation:
<em>What is the connection between mercantilism and colonialism?</em>
Colonialism was viewed as an outgrowth of mercantilism in the 18th century. According to marchantilism, every nation should make an effort to increase exports while reducing imports. The purpose of colonies was to complement the goods that the colonizer could generate on its own.
All trade related to colonialism was mandated by the British, in particular, to go via England. Colonial traders were not permitted to make direct purchases or sales from suppliers or to any foreign clients. Additionally, colonists were not permitted to directly sell things made in the home nation. The British saw the entire empire as a closed system. The American colonists were aware that they were paying more for their purchases and receiving less money for their sales. This was one of the triggers for the American Revolution.
Even though the Americans prevailed in their battle, the mercantilist concept persisted. Until the European colonial system collapsed after World War II, every major imperialist power made an effort to prevent other countries from stealing resources from its colonies and mandated that colonialists be supplied by the home country in some way.

The policy was called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.
Middle class women were expected to hire fewer servants and do more of the household chores themselves. Working and earning money was not allowed in most businesses so they had to work more in the house. This wasn't a problem for wealthy people because they would always stay wealthy, or the poor because they never had servants to begin with.
