The American colonies have been left alone for a while, so they start to rule themselves
basically. However, England suddenly comes out of nowhere creating committees to
administrate the colonies and tax them.
The colonies are not happy about this and quarrel with England in small ways. Nothing
comes of this though, because the colonies quarrel with each other as well. Later Benjamin
Franklin would once say: "We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all
hang separately."
More people started migrating to the colonies because British laws stifled some of their
businesses. However, the colonies stayed united with England until after the Seven years war.
