  1. US History Bellwork – Copy down the following definition… • Mercantilism: the colony exists for the good of the mother country – the mother country takes things of value (gold or goods) and sells the colony manufactured goods. • Simple example: countries loved to go out around the world and set up little campsites called colonies. They did this because they liked a lot of the stuff that was there. They really liked to put campers or colonists into those areas to clear the land and farm useful things for them like cotton, timber, or tobacco. In short, it's when a big country goes out around the world and sets up little colonies to make money off of them.

  2. US History Bellwork – Copy down the following definitions… • Mercantilism - A country becomes strong by • a) possessing colonies and • b) controlling the trade of those colonies. • c) The colonies only exist to benefit the "mother" country. • Export - stuff a country sells to other places • Import - stuff a country buys from other places • A country should export finished products and import raw materials.
