TENSION IN THE COLONIES

Essential Questions:1.How did Mercantilism impact the English colonies?2.How did the Navigation Acts impact the English colonies?3.Why is Salutary Neglect important in English colonial history?4.Why is the Great Awakening important in colonial history?

Mercantilism

Colony should sell more than it buys

Encourage exports & discourage imports

One way is by using tariffs A tax imposed on goods when

they are brought into a country or colony

Mercantilism was the dominant school of thought from the 16th to the 18th century

Led to government intervention and control over the economy; start of capitalist system

Navigation Acts

Laws restricting foreign shipping and trade between England and its colonies

Reinforced English policy that English trade should be carried on English vessels

Navigation Act of 1660 Required all European goods bound

for America to first be shipped through England or Wales

In England, the goods were unloaded, inspected, paid duties, and reloaded

Goods had to be carried in English vessels

Increased cost and shipping time

Salutary Neglect English policy of avoiding

strict enforcement of laws meant to keep the colonies obedient to England

Policy lasted from 1607 to 1763 Prime Minister did not

believe in enforcing the Navigation Acts

Since British authority did not assert its power, the colonists were left to govern themselves Colonies became

accustomed to the idea of self-control

Salutary Neglect French & Indian War

England tried to seize supplies and force men into service

Colonists resented this interference

It created resentment in the American colonies toward the British

King George III ends Salutary Neglect Stamp Act and Sugar Act Caused tensions within the

colonies

Was a large factor that led to the American Revolution

The Great Awakening

Increased religious activity (1730s)

Jonathan Edwards Talked of personal religious

experiences Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

Effects of the Great Awakening People became passionately involved

in their religion People started to study the Bible at

home

Led to "experiencing God in their own way"

To many conversion became important

Salem Witch Trials Pre-cursor to the Great

Awakening

February 1692 and May 1693

A series of hearings before local courts to prosecute people accused of witchcraft

The Results: Over 150 people were

arrested and imprisoned 29 people were convicted

of witchcraft 19 of the accused (14

women and 5 men) were hanged
