The Mercantile System

In the US today the american revolution is assumed to refer to the liberation of North American struggled against the English Empire late in the eighteen hundreds.The English North Americans weren’t the only class of colonists in Europe that were in the Americas that rebelled against the distant rulers in that era. Also the south american rebelled against the spanish for similar and different reasons.
In the early eighteen hundreds of 1808 , the new world empire of spain extended to the parts of the present day US west to Tierra del Fuego, from the Caribbean to the Pacific. By 1825, it was all gone except for a handful of islands in the Caribbean. a reason for this was that that the creoles had no respect. Creoles are people that are an ancestor
They wanted to do things for themselves. Great Britain told them what to do. The American people didn't want people away from them telling them how to live their lives. A cause for this revaluation is trade. The mercantile system was based on the benefits of trading in which the flow of raw materials from the colonies that profited Great Britain who turned them into finished goods which had a higher value than raw materials. Americans had to trade goods that they had in abundance in exchange for goods which were scarce in their own region. Triangular Trade, coupled with the British policy of Mercantilism, provided a “favorable balance of trade” but only to Great Britain. This ensured that gold and silver, and all domestic money, stayed in England. Another reason was the Navigation Acts. The Navigation Acts was to encourage England shipping and allow Great Britain to retain the monopoly of england's colonial trade for the benefit of British merchants. Another reason was the 1689 British bill of rights. The 1689 English Bill of Rights was passed which put into place a constitutional form of government in which the rights and liberties of the individual were protected under British law. The Americans argued that they were not afforded the same rights. the last reasons was the policy in the colonies. in 1696 it suited the british to a adopt policy of salutary neglect avoiding the strict enforcement of parliamentary laws in Colonial America which gave the colonies a lot of freedom in economic matters. Between 1763-1775 the English tried to reverse the policy of Salutary Neglect in order to pay for war debts, tighten their control in the colonies, enforce the Navigation Acts and other laws and impose new taxes on goods.
In conclusion they had a similar situation in trade because they both could only trade with their country. the law and the policy were very different and were created for different reasons. american and latin
