Economic Mercantilism For a while, England controlled all trade in the colonies. The government in England decided what colonists would be paid for the goods they grew or made, and England decided where goods would be shipped. England also decided what goods were shipped to the colonies and how much those goods would cost when they got there. The colonists had no say. The government in England benefited greatly. Merchants and farmers in the colonies did not.

George Whitefield Famous for his loud, fiery sermons In a way, the Great Awakening paved the way for the American Revolution. The "awakening" of more and more people to the teachings of various churches resulted in more people's being exposed to the idea that all people were equal under God. And if people were treated the same by God, then those same people could certainly be treated equally by their government.
