Their colonial experience led them to the point where they were sick of monarchistic European influence and wanted to create a fully democratic republic, created by the people for the people, not for the well being of a royal family.
Answer: the colony of British Columbia was a crown colony in British North America from 1858 until 1866. It was founded by the British Crown, who appointed James Douglas, then governor of the neighbouring colony of Vancouver’s Island (established in 1849) as the colony’s first governor. Richard Clement Moody was the colony’s first chief commissioner of lands and works.
Explanation:
Thomas Paine, a recent English emigrant to America, provided the Patriot cause with a stimulating pamphlet titled Common Sense. Until his fifty-page pamphlet appeared, colonial grievances had been mainly directed at the British Parliament; few colonists considered independence an option. Paine, however, directly attacked allegiance to the monarchy, which had remained the last frayed connection to Britain. The “common sense” of the matter, he stressed, was that King George III bore the responsibility for the rebellion. Americans, Paine urged, should consult their own interests, abandon George III, and assert their independence. Only by declaring independence, Paine predicted, could the colonists enlist the support of France and Spain and thereby engender a holy war of monarchy against the monarchy.
