After the English Restoration in 1660, several proprietary colonies were founded, including Carolina, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The most notable among them was Pennsylvania, established by William Penn in 1681 as a haven for Quakers and religious freedom. Carolina was initially split into North and South Carolina, reflecting the diverse interests and settlers in the region. New Jersey was also granted to individuals, promoting settlement and agricultural development.
After the Restoration in 1660, the British primarily established proprietary colonies, where individual proprietors were granted extensive rights to govern and develop land. These colonies, such as Pennsylvania and Carolina, were characterized by a degree of autonomy and were often founded for economic opportunities and religious freedoms. The British also created royal colonies, which were directly controlled by the crown, but proprietary colonies became a significant feature of their colonial strategy during this period.
All English colonies were founded as homes for English colonists. That's kind of the whole point of a colony.

Religious refugees.
They were founded by English settlers and were therefore under the English crown.
King Charles II tried to unite the colonies, but it didn't work because the colonies were all founded for different reasons and therefore didn't want to be united.

When the colonies were first founded, the settlers were English, so they talked with an English accent.
