- SLAVES:
- I hate the Europeans. All they care about is getting more money. If they didn't have this obsession with growing their economy and producing raw goods here, we'd still be back in Africa.
- If they need so much crop production, why don't they do it themselves, instead of shipping in millions of Africans for cheap labor?
- And we're treated so terribly. They see us as less than people, only as ways to get richer.

- NATIVES:
- I am furious at the colonists. All they do is spread westward and steal our land to grow crops. This land is not theirs.
- They talk about this thing... mercantilism. More production, more wealth, it seems to be the only thing that matters to them.
- These Europeans, in their hunger for land to make more money, have brought with them their terrible traditions of racism. They call us "servants of the devil." Why?
- They say that as a justification to kill our people and kick us off our old lands.
- And they destroy our traditional ways. This isn't what our ancestors and gods wanted.

- It's good that the government controls the economy. It makes our nation (and my company, of course) more powerful. We sell more exports than we take in imports, making us economically stronger than other countries.
- MERCANTILISM
- Our ways of life are being destroyed. Europeans push us off our land. Their mere presence changes our culture. Who do they think they are?
- Mercantilism is so exploitative. We don't deserve this. I don't just exist to make more money for London, but that's how it is right now.
- This system is just another way that the government controls us. We should have the liberty to make our own economic choices.
