Question

What were the British colonies? What was life like in the British colonies?

Answer 1

Answer: Britain had thirteen colonies throughout North America.

Explanation:

With the discovery of North America, about a hundred years after that event, Britain began the intensive colonization of North America. The first colonies were established at the beginning of the seventeenth century, and in the following decades, this practice continued. Britain established the following colonies in North America: New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, Connecticut, South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Colonial authorities transferred many patterns of the rule to the New World. Trade, economic structure, and political system were similar to those in the home country. However, a large number of people immigrated to North America to organize their religion. Puritans in England came into conflict with the authorities because of the church's structure and its organization. Arriving in the New World, they organized the church according to their organization since they could not do something like that in their home country.
