understand the principles of mercantilism.
-Mercantilism is a way for large nations to accumulate wealth and power
-One effective strategy was to establish colonies in other continents
-Gold, silver, and “stuff” became more valuable than land
-As a result, merchants became more important and influential
-The power of the middle class increased as a result
