Mercantilism, which grew alongside the transatlantic trade route, primarily implied that nationalism was an important idea. This economic theory emphasized the importance of a strong national economy, seeking to accumulate wealth and resources through a favorable balance of trade. Mercantilist policies often placed the interests of the mother country above those of the colonies, reinforcing the idea that the colonies were subordinate but not necessarily implying overall inferiority. Additionally, the transatlantic trade route facilitated the movement of goods and people, leading to the development of an African diaspora due to the slave trade, but the core ideological implication of mercantilism itself is tied to nationalism.
