'''''In what ways did the colonies help build the economic strength of England?'''''
Most Europeans at the time had a mindset that strongly approved mercantilism, which is the belief that the colonies exist for the economic benefit of the mother country. The way the colonies preformed this was through the exporting of raw goods like tobacco and corn to England at a cheap price. This new self-trade system greatly stimulated England’s economic strength.
'''-Honors Questions-'''
'''''Was it expensive to establish a colony? If so, who paid for it?'''''
The cost of funding a trip and establishing a colony was no cheap investment. More often than not it was funded by the kings and queens of that time who desired to expand their territory. Also Companies sent reliable men with a charter to establish a colony that would make the company cash.
'''''Identify one or more colonies for which the King of England revoked their charters and retook control over them. Why?'''''
The Massachusetts Bay colony had received a royal charter which was revoked 55 years later by Charles II. This was due to their ignorance and revolts against the tariffs and trading laws that were required by those subject to the king.
'''''Discuss any of the debate or discussion topics from the lecture.'''''
'''Were the Puritans right to be strict and to expel people of other religions?'''
The Puritans invested their lives into establishing their religious freedom. They acquired a charter and founded a colony that held their principles. They remembered their struggles and wanted to preserve their religious beliefs. Massachusetts Bay was their colony and they had the right to enforce what they thought would best preserve their colony.
