AP US History
Unit 2 – Colonial Society, 1607–1754
Topic 2.7
If mercantilism hadn't been adopted by British policy-makers, what could have been a probable outcome for colonial economies?
All colonial exports would cease entirely.
The colonies may have developed more autonomous trade relationships with other nations but still remain dependent on Britain for military defense and diplomatic affairs.
The colonies would immediately achieve complete economic independence from Britain.
There'd be a rapid rise in colonial industries focused on producing finished goods.
