By 1760, the American colonies were integral to the British Empire, providing significant economic benefits through trade, raw materials, and agricultural products. They contributed to Britain's wealth and global influence, serving as markets for British goods. The colonies were largely self-governing but remained under British authority, leading to tensions over taxation and representation. This complex relationship laid the groundwork for future conflicts and the quest for independence.
In 1760, the southern colonies were governed by royal governors appointed by the British Crown.

The British king in 1775 was King George III. He reigned from 1760 to 1820 and is known for his tumultuous relationship with the American colonies, which ultimately led to the American Revolutionary War.

However, after 1760, following the French and Indian War, Britain sought to exert more direct control and raise revenue through measures like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, leading to increased tensions and resistance among the colonists. This shift marked a transition from relative independence to a more authoritarian approach, ultimately contributing to the American Revolution.
