8. Mercantilism
Mercantilism – goal is for country (Britain) to be self-sufficient using its colonies for raw products and consumers.
Mother Country – makes finished products using raw materials from colonies
Balance of Trade – value of products the mother country exports should be higher than value of imports
In 1750 who was Florida’s mother country? Georgia’s? Canada’s?

9. Enforcement of Mercantilism
Navigation Acts
Starting in the mid-1600s, Britain passed these laws that said the British Colonies could only trade with Britain.
Salutary Neglect
Navigation Acts were not enforced.
What do you do when a law is not enforced? Like speed limits.
Most colonial traders basically followed the rules, but became more independent.
Side effect – more shipbuilding and use of secondary ports.
What happened when the Crown starting enforcing the laws after years of salutary neglect?

10. Never Empty
One way to get around the Navigation Acts was to say you were sailing to another British possession.
Many Triangular Trade routes formed (remember World History!).
Most famous:
From New England (to Britain first) – Rum
From Africa – Slaves
From Caribbean – Molasses
Middle Passage – transport of slaves from Africa to New World

12. Rise of Consumerism
Caused by the early stages of the Industrial Revolution
More affluent Americans showed off wealth
Average colonists more wealthy than British counterparts
Advertising in Journals and Newspapers began
An emerging merchant class develops
How does this fit within the idea of an “American?”

13. Slavery In the beginning, all of the colonies had slavery.
What happened after Bacon’s Rebellion?
Why would it die out in the Northern colonies, but continue to exist in the Southern colonies?
How are the Northern colonies not blameless when it comes to the growth of slavery?

14. Slave Culture Slave society in south tied in with white society
Some developed their own cultures
Gullah – hybrid language
Religion – mix Christianity and African folklore
Wide range of how treated
Stono Rebellion 1739 showed not all good
Some slaves able to purchase their own manumission

15. Science and Education
The Enlightenment caused more scientific and intellectual exploration
Education higher in the colonies due in part to religion
Increase of Newspapers and Almanacs
Poor Richard’s Almanac by Ben Franklin
Franklin also made postal system one of the best (night riders)
Medicine overall improving
Cotton Mather with inoculation of smallpox (later used by Washington)

16. Self-government Many areas were largely self-governing
Colonial Assemblies were able to make many laws
Crown appointed many positions, but usually not too powerful and usually in largest cities
How would this play into the future of the colonies?

17. Colonial Women
Fewer women in Chesapeake colonies. What would that mean for “power?”
Patriarchal Society
Midwives helping with multiple childbirths (every other year average)
Lower life expectancy. Why?
Notable women of period:
Anne Hutchinson
Phyllis Wheatley – African American poet

18. Another American Ideal Born
Zenger Trial (1734) – John Peter Zenger had criticized the gov’t in his paper. He was tried, but found innocent as it was factually true.
The ideas of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press are taking hold in the colonies. (as well as due process when accused of a crime)

19. Differences between Colonists and their cousins back in Britain
More mobility (socially and economically)
Wealthier
More Literate
Healthier
Taller
More independent/free (gov’t)

20. French and Indian War
France, Spain, and Britain had several conflicts in the 1600s and early 1700s in which Colonist were involved.
In 1754, conflict began over claims in the Ohio River valley (Middle grounds).
Started the Seven Years War (which lasted 9 years), but was known in the Americas as the French and Indian War.
It was a world war. Why?

21. Our Father emerges
Ft. Necessity – 1754 – Col. George Washington leads a group of colonial militia in unsuccessful battle.
What reason (personally) did Washington have to lead the troops?
It is called the French and Indian War, but what are the real sides?
For the actual fighting, William Pitt takes over British troops in 1757 and later the British won at Quebec.

22. French and Indian War Importance
Treaty of Paris 1763 ends war. Britain wins.
Britain gets Canada (from France)
Britain gets Florida (from Spain)
Britain gets Ohio River Valley
Passes the Proclamation of 1763
Colonists were not allowed to settle past the Appalachian Mts.
Why would that upset the Colonists?
What were some of the other effects of the war?

23. Reflection Questions
How was the “American” developing during the 1700s?
What role did the north play in the expansion of slavery in the colonies?
How did the French and Indian War begin and what were the effects of the war?
Even through legally they did not have much power, in what ways did women hold unofficial power?
