Colonial Relationship with England

Although Spain, France, and England all had colonies in the New World, the thirteencolonies that eventually became the United States of America were part of the Britishempire (England).

Most of the American colonies were owned by England and the king of England was theirruler. He appointed governors to keep things in order and represent him to thecolonists. Each colony did have its own individual government, called a coloniallegislature, which made laws for that colony, but it was closely monitored by thecolonial governors.

The purpose of the American colonies was to increase Englands wealth and power. Thecolonies provided England with valuable raw materials, such as timber and cash crops.Americans bought English manufactured goods. England controlled this trade verystrictly to make sure they could make as much money as possible.

Sometimes, though, the colonies cost England money. Keeping the colonists safe fromattack required English soldiers and supplies. The French and Indian War, fought inthe Ohio River Valley was especially long and expensive. England had to tax thecolonies to make some of this money back.

After reading the information above, list three ways in which England controlled herAmerican colonies.
