Did the british ever govern the Americans?
Some of the colonies were royal colonies from the start, others had begun as proprietary colonies, such as Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Carolina (later divided into North and South). A proprietary cololy was a massive grant of land to one person, or a small group of people, who were then obligated to try to govern this new property and to try to make it pay, somehow. William Penn was given Pennsylvania in payment for money his father was owed by the crown, and his sons continued to try to make money from it after he was dead. Maryland was given to Lord Calvert in payment for services, for use as a haven for English Catholics, so long as those of other faiths living there were not discriminated against. There were eight Lords Proprietors who were given Carolina by Charles II, in return for their help in the Restoration. The Restoration was the return of the King to the throne of England, in the person of Charles II, after the English Civil War, when Cromwell had beheaded Charles I, father of Charles II, and then ruled England as the "Lord Protector" for a dozen years. The Lords Proprietors has tried to make a paying colony out of Carolina for sixty years, but gave up in the 1720s (all except for one of them) and gave Carolina back to the crown, so it became a royal colony, with the sticky problem of that one Lord Proprietor (Albermarle) who wouldn't give up his title, and so buying land and getting a clear title to it was a headache. But all of the 13 colonies, whether royal or proprietary, were British colonies. Traditionally the governor of each colony was paid by money appropriated by the colonial assembly, which gave the assembly some leverage over the governor. One of the issues leading to the Revolution was that George III tried to change this system of how the governors got paid, which would take away from the colonists much of the ability they had to influence their own governor.

What were the causes and effects of the first great awakening between the 1720s and 1740s?
The First Great Awakening, occurring between the 1720s and 1740s, was primarily caused by a decline in religious fervor and the rise of Enlightenment rationalism, leading to a desire for a more personal and emotional connection to faith. Key figures like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield emphasized heartfelt religion, which spurred widespread revival meetings and a renewed enthusiasm for Christianity. The effects included the democratization of religion, as ordinary people began to challenge established authorities, the formation of new denominations, and an increase in religious diversity in America. Additionally, it fostered a sense of shared identity and community among colonists, contributing to the development of a uniquely American religious culture.
