Can someone please explain the mercantile system to me?

Hacksaw Jim Duggan wants to know...

high taxes on foreign shipsall trade between England and colonies needed to be done on an English/colonial shipNavigation Act of 1651 prohibited foreign vessels from engaging in coastal trade in England and required that all goods imported from the continent of Europe be carried on either an English vessel or a vessel registered in the country of origin of the goods.

The mercantile system..

was an economic system based on trade and turning cheap natural resources into expensive finished productssaw the English become richer and more powerful because they had access to the colonies (and their raw materials/people who would buy their finished products)had the state control aspects of trade and manufacturing as to maximize profits (e.g., would allow monopolies; heavily tax)was successful only if you exported more than you importedaimed to keep gold and silver inside the stateused gold and silver to invest in their navy to control the seas said all raw materials coming from the colonies needed to be shipped via an English shipgave the state first dibs on materialswanted to keep foreign competitors out

I love me some oatmeal... do you know anything about the guy on the oatmeal box?

Bam Bam Bigelow wants to know...

Superfly Jimmy Snuka has the answer...

You mean William Penn... the founder of Pennsylvania and perhaps the most infamous Quaker of all time? Well, Penn wanted to establish a land that was accepting of all Christian religions and treated all people as equals—natives, slaves. “A free colony for all man kind.”

They believed that liberty was universal (i.e., didn’t need to own land in order to be free). They also believed that anyone who believed in God had a place in Pennsylvania (even Jews, but they were restricted in terms of participation in government). And just like the Puritans, Quakers didn’t drink, curse, sleep around, or engage in cock fighting. Being virtuous was key in Penn’s Pennsylvania.

What about the Quakers? What were they all about?

Hi. I’m Pennsylvania. Here are some things you should

know about me…

William Penn owned all Pennsylvania land but unlike your typical land speculators of the day, Penn sold his land at a low price

male taxpayers/land owners were able to vote

majority of early settlers were Quakers

Pennsylvania was such a haven for freedom that it eventually was overrun by people who didn’t share the same values as the Quakers—mistreatment of natives, pro-slavery, narrow minded about religion

Students should understand...

Mercantilism is an economic system that helped England become a global power in the 17th-18th centuries

used the colonies raw materials to make more expensive finished products, then trade with Africa/sell to othersgold and silver = #thekeytowinningmercantilismstrict laws were created to protect the state/maximize $$$

Quakers were similar to Puritans in values—no cursing, drinking, etc.—but more relaxed in terms of religious practice

Quakers were among the first groups to speak out against slavery and preach equality

William Penn wanted to create a land in the New World where all people were everyone was accepted—slaves, natives--Pennsylvania
