By the mid 1700s, British rule in the colonies was marked by a series of taxes and restrictive trade policies. The attitude had changed largely due to Britain's financial issues. However, because they had previously left the colonists to their own devices, the new imperialistic behavior was not welcomed and resulted in rebellion.
By the mid-1700s, the relationship between Britain and the colonies had become, in fact if not in form, federal. This meant that the central governement in London was responsible for colonial defense and for foreign affairs. It also provided a uniform system of money and credit and a common market for colonial trade. Beyond that, the colonies were allowed a fairly wide amount of self-rule. It wasn't until the end of the French and Indian war (1760s) that Britain began to become more involved and heavily tax its colonies to pay for the efforts in the war.
The population of the 13 colonies in the mid 1700s was about 2.5 million.
