Document Summary
The generation of americans at hand were far removed from their english roots lending a subculture which unified the population of colonists. Additionally americans had a home-field advantage because their forces could communicate more freely with higher ranking officials and congress compared to the inability of the british to confer with their monarch. Home rule is the manner in which the colonies governed themselves. Basically the monarch gave them the power to organize each individual colony"s government and simply enforced regulation based legislation upon them such as import and export taxation. Colonial rule was incredibly lax in nature on the part of the monarch because it allowed the colonies to have a great freedom in ruling themselves. The colonies had limited influence of the monarch in whole and organized highly sophisticated government through legislation and often bicameral legislature. French & indian war colonies no pay taxes. Declared the colonies independence from gb started the revolutionary war.
