Why does the concept of Mercantilism matter? What impact did it have on the people of the Colonies?
• This idea is one in which the only function of the colonies is to help the imperialist nation who colonized them. They are to serve only as a source of Raw Materials for the motherland and a isolated body that must buy them. This helps the Country in power to gain wealth and prestige.
• Impacts.....
> To protect their investment Great Britain put many restrictions in place in terms of what could be manufactured in the Colonies as well as what they could buy from non­British sources (Navigation Acts/ Dominion of New England)
> This increased tensions between the Colonies and Britain due to lack of choice, increased cost, stifling of business interests in the Colonies, and feelings of heavy handedness from the Crown.

Cash Crop: One grown for sale versus used by the producer. Why does this matter? ­ more product you can produce the more money you can make. This means you need more land, labor, and capital. All three are necessary, if only growing for your needs alone, slavery would never take place. This is also important because the crops grown in the south were labor intensive year round. Northern crops were not therefor it made no sense to pay for slaves in terms of cost to benefit. Indentured Servants: Usually white males trying to escape poverty or prison in Europe who came to the new world to start anew. They worked in to pay off a debt. If survived term they were free. Why does this matter?
­ The truly never prospered, many died while trying to work for freedom, and even when freed they never really made it(no money to start fresh). This meant that they stopped coming or ran when they got here, system did not work. Hence the origins of Africanized Slavery in the New World.

French and Indian War
What was it?
The 4th and final war in a series of wars between Britain and France over North America and other colonies. Also known as the Seven Years War even though historians will put the length of the war anywhere from 7­13 years depending on what you actually consider the starting point. An example of this is the fact that the British Colonists and French were fighting each other directly and through Native American allies 2 years before a declaration of hostilities in Europe. What prompted this war to take place? Both the English and the French were expanding their holds in North America and the two sides realized that they both wanted the same territory which only one could have. Major Events
