The Mercantilism is not substainable for the colonies. Mercantilism was not held very high to the colonist. They didnt get a choice on things that they could make, they also were exporting more then they were importing, and they had to give up alot of their ships and sailors and ect. to the british. Mercantilism is not good for the colonies, it is suprizing that they kept it for as long as they did with out rebelling. The colonist's didnt get to make their own things for the most part or at least things such as clothes any wood carving things like tables chairs. The colonist were not able to do any of that even if they had the wood. The colonists had to send their supplies to Eroupe to have them make it for them. Which didn't help the colonist all that much because they didn't get paid in money. Which ment that they couldn't get any other things they needed unless they would take what they sent over to Europe. An example of that would be if they sent wood over but they needed tea they could only get tea if the man that was selling the tea were to make a trade for him with the wood. The colonist's also had to export more then they imported in order to obtain more gold and silver. Inorder to get the colonies built stronger they needed more money because now they were going by the amount of gold and silver the colonies had to figure out who was higher in the ranks. Which ment that the colonists were sending all of their goods and raw materials over across seas. Even paying money to the britians all because of the Mercantilism. The Mercantilism caused their colonies a big lost in al of their materials. Colonists also were giving up a lot of their ships, sailors, stores, and trade that the britian needed and wanted to them through out all of this for the Mercantilism. The colonist's also had to grow tobacoo and sugar for England other wise the British would have to buy it from other colonies and that would cost them money. The british used their powers to the best that they could. The Mercantilism really cause a great ideal of bounding of the americans. The English still had a great amount of power of them weather they said they did or didn't. them and the british were the main problem for the trading and causing them to have to give up so much of their belongings to them. Mercantilism did not do good for the colonist is only pushed them. There was no saying of when they weren't going to take it any more, but you could see it coming. The Mercantilism was one of many conflicts between the americans and the rest of the world. colonist didn't like the idea and did not stand for it they even went as far as making their own home made clothes that were horribly made and ruff and ichy. They wanted to make a point and get it across. So no in my point of view the Mercantilism was not a substainable theory that the British would work so nicely to embrace their control over the colonies. It just back fired, maybe not right away but it was obvious that it would.
