2. How did colonialism work? Tie together mercantilism and the Triangular Trade?
Claim: Colonialism is taking something from another country to benefit to overall well being of the mother country and mercantilism is along the same lines. The Triangular Trade was when the Americas gave something to Europe and Europe gave manufactured goods to Africa and Europe gave the Americas slaves.
Evidence: This shows that the Americans wanted to take over Africa because they had slaves. That is an example of colonialism because America put people over there to monitor the slaves once they got caught and were waiting to be shipped out to the Americas.
