Great Britain had economic interests in the Atlantic colonies since the 16th century. Through many laws, acts and conquests, Britain sought to control and influence the colonies. Britain ultimately failed in this endeavor. Though the British government could divide and allot the land as they pleased, they could not control it effectively.

it can involve so many different people. Like today, all of the colonies were contained of many different people, or they were diverse. Although those people may not have been from that many divergent areas, that doesn’t mean that they would not run a whole group of humankind in a whole contrastive way. This can be verified just by reading about the New England colonies. Varying areas in New England (Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony-Boston, Providence, Connecticut, and New Hampshire) all took their

Divided Thoughts on Independence The British colonies of North America took their beginnings in the early part of the sixteen hundreds. At that time Virginia and New England became the first regions to be settled by the English. It was the birth of America as a whole, but it also was the beginnings of two distinct ways of life. The colonies were founded on Independence, but from the start there were two completely different ideas of what that Independence was and what it would mean over time. This

It must be understood that though Americans were fighting for the right of democracy and each state wanted self-government, later that same issue turned into a big problem. Soon after America became independent, the former British colonies decided to form their own governments. It was then that the real battle began. The
