Although the British had troops stationed and fighting in-around the 13 Colonies, it would be in accurate to say they held or controlled any of them. At best they 'held' New York City, and parts of New Jersey, but only as occupying garrisons in various areas.

Why does australi have a union jack on its flag?

Australia was once a British colony, and so holds the Union Flag within it's flag to represent this. This is the same for all flags which hold the Union Flag as part of their flag. Almost all (with the exception of a small few) countries that were/are part of the Commonwealth were British colonies, and therefore may hold the Union Flag within their own flag.

Were blacks always allowed to be Mormons?

African Americans and blacks/dark-skinned people of other heritage have always been able to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), but they were not able to hold the priesthood until 1978. This means that while they could always be baptized and be participating members of a congregation, they could not hold leadership positions until 1978. The 1978 change was excitedly accepted by a huge majority of Church members and now there are many black/African Church leaders.
