TRUE
Great Britain
The Albany Plan of Union, proposed in 1754 by Benjamin Franklin, was not approved by the colonies primarily due to concerns about losing individual autonomy and power. The colonial assemblies were reluctant to relinquish control over their affairs to a centralized government, fearing it would undermine their authority. Additionally, there were differing priorities and interests among the colonies, making consensus difficult. The plan ultimately highlighted the challenge of colonial unity, which would not be fully realized until the American Revolution.
Colonial America did not have States at the time of the American Revolution. We had 13 colonies under British control.
Europeans used paternalism as a direct form of control of the colonies. They provided for the colonial peoples' needs but did not give them full rights or self determination.
Colonies began fighting to overthrow colonial control over their governments
The British exerted significant political control over the American colonies through a centralized governance structure, including the establishment of colonial governors appointed by the Crown and the implementation of various acts and taxes without colonial representation. The British Parliament's authority was asserted through laws that affected trade and local governance, often leading to tensions and resistance among colonists. However, local assemblies in the colonies retained some degree of autonomy, creating a complex relationship marked by both British oversight and colonial self-governance. This tension ultimately contributed to the desire for independence.

Your country is likely Portugal, which was involved in European conflicts over colonial territories in the Americas. After losing its colonies, Portugal became heavily involved in the transatlantic slave trade, transporting enslaved Africans to various colonies, including those in the Americas. This involvement significantly shaped the demographic and economic landscapes of the colonial regions it supplied.
The British government sought to control the colonies' foreign policy and trade, primarily through laws such as the Navigation Acts, which restricted colonial trade to England and its allies. This control was intended to ensure that the economic benefits of colonial resources and trade flowed back to Britain. Additionally, the British Crown and Parliament aimed to maintain authority over colonial relations with other nations, further asserting their dominance over colonial affairs. This led to growing tensions and resentment among the colonists, ultimately contributing to the push for independence.
