British America comprised the colonial territories of the British Empire in the Americas from 1607 to 1783. These colonies were formally known as British America and the British West Indies before the 13 Colonies declared their independence in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and formed the United states.[1]

After the American Revolution, the term British Due north America was used to refer to the remainder of Great Uk's possessions in North America. The term British North America was used in 1783, but it was more ordinarily used after the Study on the Affairs of British North America (1839), more often than not known as the Durham Written report.

History [edit]

British map of North America, 1710

A number of English colonies were established in America between 1607 and 1670 by individuals and companies whose investors expected to reap rewards from their speculation. They were granted commercial charters by Male monarch James I, King Charles I, Parliament, and Rex Charles Two. The London Company founded the first permanent settlement in 1607 on the James River at Jamestown, Virginia upstream from Chesapeake Bay. This was followed in 1620 when the Pilgrims established the Plymouth settlement in New England. English Catholics settled the Province of Maryland in 1634, under Cecilus Calvert, 2nd Lord Baltimore.

A state department in London known as the Southern Section governed all the colonies beginning in 1660, as well equally a committee of the Privy Quango called the Board of Trade and Plantations. In 1768, Parliament created a specific state department for America, merely it was disbanded in 1782 when the Home Office took responsibleness for the remaining possessions of British N America in Eastern Canada, The Floridas, and the Westward Indies.[ii]

British America gained big amounts of territory with the Treaty of Paris (1763), which concluded the French and Indian War in America and the Seven Years' War in Europe. At the start of the Revolutionary War in 1775, the British Empire included 23 colonies and territories on the North American continent. The Treaty of Paris (1783) ended the war, and Britain lost much of this territory to the newly formed U.s.a.. In addition, Britain ceded Due east and Due west Florida to the Kingdom of Spain, which in plow ceded them to the United States in 1821. Most of the remaining colonies to the north formed Canada in 1867, with the Dominion of Newfoundland joining in 1949.

In the Caribbean, the British West Indies and other European sugar colonies were at the center for the Atlantic Slave Trade.[3] [4]
