Answer:
I agree, but not entirely.
Explanation:
In 1607 the first English colony in America, Jamestown was created. At the beginning the colony depended in Britain for their financial and government needs. However English authorities did not have full control over their colonies in North America.
This opened the way for the colonies to take control at some extend over their economies and self government. It was only after 1700's that British authorities started to impose some control, but it was far too late. Nevertheless The English Legal system was adopted by The American Legal System.
Between 1607 and 1763 colonists of America gained more control of their economy and trade. They developed substantial trade with Native Americans, French, Dutch and Spanish.
By looking at historical evidences, it is apparent that the political and economic dependence of the Americans on the British fluctuated throughout the course of American colonial history.
Finally since the creation of the first British colony in 1607, and until the end of "The seven years' war" in 1763, American colonies gained essential control of their economy and political institutions.
I can't really say but i think it it true
They sided with the North. Unless they were Southern slaves already, they fought for the North.
This is because the North was partially fighting for their freedom!

Lincoln's short but powerful Gettysburg Address places the Civil War into the historical context of the American fight for freedom. Lincoln asserts that the war is a test of the ideals for which colonials fought in 1776- in a sense, its a continuation of the American Revolution. In an attempt to give direction to his divided country, Lincoln urges Americans to devote themselves to the task begun but not yet completed- to preserve freedom for all Americans.
