D. John Brown. I Know John Brown Is The Answer Because It is.
Answer:
The Colonies, especially those in the North, had developed a more-or-less egalitarian culture. Besides slaves and some indentured servants, most people owned land, although some owned larger plots than others.
Secondly, the colonies were largely self-governing during most of the colonial period. Britain was mostly interested in extracting a trade surplus from the colonies, but British rulers were not so preoccuppied with the daily local issues in America. These created a political culture in which local people took part in policy decisions.
Colonial radicals formed "Minutemen" in towns through the colonies to keep the public informed about abuse of colonial rights by the British government, since at this time there was no formal, centralized military.
