Explanation:

1.

2. Salutary neglect was a British policy of relaxed enforcement of trade and regulatory laws in the American colonies. It was good for the colonies as it allowed them to develop their own economies, trade freely, and gain a degree of self - governance.
3. The French and Indian War against France was costly and led to a large British national debt.
4. The British Parliament believed the American colonists were responsible for the cost of the new RedCoats in the colonies.
5. In 1763, the British mandated the Proclamation of 1763 which restricted colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains.
6. Mercantilism is an economic system in which a nation seeks to increase its wealth and power by obtaining large amounts of gold and silver, maintaining a favorable balance of trade, and establishing colonies to provide raw materials and markets for finished goods.
