Mercantilism was bad because it led to negative effects such as:
- Products would often be more expensive in the colonies due to lack of competition
- It encouraged smuggling and the breaking of other restrictive laws
- Created the idea that the mother country was superior to the colonies and their colonial citizens
- Industries would not be allowed to develop in the colony so that only products from the mother country could be sold.
Mercantilism was an economic policy where countries believed that there was only a limited amount of wealth in the world so it would be wise to accumulate it all.
To this end they established colonies around the world with the hope of getting the wealth of these colonies. To do so they:
- Prevented the colonies from building industry so that the colonies would buy from the mother country
- Made products more expensive in the colonies to get more wealth and because there was little competition
- Enforced their will on the colonies thereby making the colonies inferior to them
These led to the colonies engaging in smuggling and illegal trade with other countries so as to have access to more goods are cheaper prices.
In conclusion, mercantilism did more harm than good and led to colonies rebelling against their mother nations especially in the Americas.
