World Events that Impacted the 13 Colonies
Lesson Outline
The 13 original British colonies in North America were founded at varying times, for various reasons, as either charter, royal, or proprietary colonies. Beginning with the first permanent settlement in Jamestown, Virginia Colony, the English would go on to gain a permanent control over the entire Atlantic seaboard. The colonies grew in relative independence because of the political upheaval of the English Civil War. After the war, England wanted to establish control over the colonies. King Charles II recognized the need to compromise with colonial leaders and established salutary neglect policies, recognizing colonial independence but Crown power to regulate trade. Over the next five decades the colonies grew in relative independence but felt tension from increased and diversified immigration and involvement in British wars for the empire like the French and Indian War. These tensions would lead to the next great conflict involving the colonies: The American Revolution.
