In the mid seventeenth century it became apparent to the European countries that American Colonies would become an important source of wealth. European mother countries expanded in America through mercantilism (government should regulate economic activity so as to promote national power. It should encourage manufacturing and commerce by special bounties, monopolies, and other measures. The main result of this theory is that the mother countries, Europeans, could control trade so that more gold and silver flowed into the country than left it. These export goods created revenue for mother countries. Because of this Europe continued to expand in America with financial profits.
