Which economic system was more likely practiced among the Poverty Point people and their trading partners, barter or mercantilism (pages 82-83)? Explain why. E-1A-M9(51) Concept: Relate previous key term to historical context. Answer: The more correct answer would be barter. The barter system was more simplistic and was based on exchanging items that were more abundant in another culture with an item that was scarce in Louisiana. (Mercantilism was more of an economic practice of the later centuries or characteristic of the colonial period.) 2 Identifies correct system and states a plausible explanation 1 Identifies correct system, but does not provide a plausible explanation s or incorrect response 3.
