Mercantilism

You picked up a handout regarding Mercantilism (wikipedia) wit two sides (1 - Mercantilism Policies, and 2 - Mercantilism & Colonies).  We read through it as a class.  You wrote the actual definition into your notebooks, and then worked in your table groups to decipher/translate/simplify your assigned component of Mercantilist Policies.  You then entered your result into a shared GoogleDoc:
     2 US Mercantilism
     3 US Mercantilism
     6 US Mercantilism

You need to become familiar with this method as it is something we will do quite often.  I then asked you to complete your Mercantilism & Colonies Cost/Benefit analysis (at the bottom of the worksheet) in your notebook.  If time permitted, you could continue working on your American Colonies Chart from yesterday.
