How was the country governed before the US declared its independence?
The common term "thirteen colonies" is misleading because there were 32 colonies under British rule in North America by 1775. This included Canada, theFlorida's and various islands in the Caribbean. But only 13 of the 32 revolted. Colonial America was a melting pot from the start, although, basically English there were sizable foreign groups. Germans were 6% of the total population and had no loyalty to the British crown that controlled the colonies. The Scot-Irish were 7% of the population and were an important non-English group even though they spoke English. They had no love the British government and many became part of the revolution. Approximately 5% of the multicolored colonial population consisted of other foreign groups. They also felt little for the British government. Total about 40% of the population was non-English origin, but a large majority spoke English. Of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 18 were non-English and 8 were born outside the colonies. With this in mind and the fact that they were under British rule most of the colonist were unhappy when in 1763 the Navigation Laws were enforced. Then, the stamp act was imposed in 1765. What most of them wanted was a return to the "good old days" before the French and Indian War when the Navigation laws were laxly enforced and there had been no direct tax levied. The colonists were unwilling to have the new responsibilities that went along with being part of a great empire.
