Question

how did mercantilist policies create tension between great britain and the colonies?
f. by preventing colonists from trading with most other foreign countries
g. by introducing indentured servitude to the middle colonies
h. by limiting the amount of farmland each colonist could have
j. by requiring colonists to enlist in the military

Explanation:

Mercantilist policies aimed at maximizing a nation's wealth through trade. One key aspect was controlling trade. Preventing colonists from trading with most other foreign countries restricted colonial economic opportunities. This economic restriction was a source of tension. Indentured servitude (G) was already present in some colonies before mercantilist policies became a major issue. Limiting farmland (H) was not a core mercantilist policy - mercantilism was more about trade balance. Requiring military enlistment (J) was not a typical mercantilist policy - mercantilism focused on economic (trade - related) regulations.

Answer:

F. By preventing colonists from trading with most other foreign countries
