Prior to 1763, the British government had largely ignored the colonies in America, allowing them to form their own systems of government (though they were held accountable to the British government) and live largely as a separate entity from their Anglican bretheren. However, the French and Indian Wars reversed what historians now call the British policy of salutary neglect. Discuss first the role the French and Indian Wars played in causing the British to greatly increase their role in the lives of colonial citizens, then answer the question, "Did the actions of the British government really justify a revolution against the British government?" Explain your answer and discuss with other students' responses.
This is your final blog post assignment for the summer. Your responses will be due August 6, 2012. I hope you all are working hard and finishing up your summer work as school will be here before you know it. Again, if you have any questions before school starts, feel free to email me and I will help in any way that I can. Here is your question and enjoy the final days of summer break!
