It was actually Britain being too involved in the colonies' issues. The neglect part was where the colonies had no participation in parliament.
because they fought for it
That would be Haiti which declared its independence in 1804, a year after Toussaint's death.
Known also as the French/Indian War (in respect to its North American theater), the Seven Years War led to significant changes for Great Britain and its colonies: it left Great Britain very nearly bankrupt, and it removed a hostile power (the French) from North America. The most important consequence of these changes was that it infused the British Colonies with an even greater spirit of independence, which would soon lead to conflict with the homeland -- and American independence.
The colonies becamecompletely autonomous from Great Britain and considered themselves their own entity with their own established government body. However, this autonomous attitude of the colonies also lead to the American Revolution because after the 7 years war (French & Indian war) the colonists had a bad taste in their mouths from Britain's forceful attempt to make the colonists side with them against France. After the war, the GB began to renege on the policy of salutary neglect and thus the many "tax" acts were set in place. At this point the colonists began to revolt against GB's sudden hands on approach and the Revolutionary war began.
I am wondering the same thing and what I've gotten so far is that because of salutary neglect, citizens were able to form their own legislative assemblies and were free to make their own decisions. ------ Legislative Assemblies did not form beause of "salutary neglect." It did, however, lead to stronger Legislative Assemblies. Legislative Assemblies were formed out of the same principle of the British House of Commons. The principle of government in the House of Commons was that government should represent the people. Englishmen in the North American colonies called for the same institution in their own colony. Of course, 'the people' only refered to property holders in nearly all colonies. At various times, each colony was permitted to develop its own assembly which, in theory, was supposed to be subordinated to the executive branch, the Royal colonial governments. Through what historians call "salutary neglect," the English government did not strictly enforce laws on its North American colonies, nor did it provide back-up support to the Royal Governors. As a result, the Royal Governors' power was less than it should have been, and they had to cooperate with the assemblies. This gave the assemblies much greater power within their own colony.
It broke up New England into colonies which resulted in more freedom and salutary neglect
Discuss how the growing tensions between England and the colonies led to a revolution and independence.
It benefit the people of diff rent parts of America because they didn't let other countries become the more ac curated than they were.
minutemen didn't lead to the revolution, salutary neglect of the colonies did, the minutemen won the revolutionary war for the USA among other factors.
_ Dickinson argued declaring independence would hurt the colonies rather than help them. He did not think any European nation would help the colonies against Britain. He also believed that the colonies would stay united if they won independence._ John Admas agreed declaring independence would lead to difficult times. It would take a long time to build a new country. He also said that there was no other way out of the dispute with Britain.
it started to increase tension between colonies and British which lead to the revolutionary war and to independence now.

lead, neglect, shun...
One of the problems that lead to the convention that formed the Continental Congress was having no representation in British Parliament for the colonies, despite the colonies being taxed. Further oppression and taxation aggravated the issues, which eventually lead to a call for independence and the revolution.
With the British taxes, the colonies were forced to pay, making them less able to use their extra money to employ/trade with other nations, but they definitely didn't lead to more cooperation. If anything, they led to more upset and turmoil, especially the Townsend Acts and the Quartering Act. But what the British asked wasn't really unreasonable- it just seemed so to the colonies because they had become used to a policy of salutary neglect.
The policies included self-government and salutary neglect. The colonial policy of self-government included the royal, proprietary, and charters. Eventually most colonies became royal colonies, since royal colonies were appointed a king and did overall better. Males were usually the kings and were the only one allowed to vote and own land. The process was a little messed up since the governor was not originally from the colony. So, the governor had power but the real leaders were from the colonies officials. (Use the info above to add/lead in to you final answer which is below) Salutary neglect was the British government not enforcing its trade laws, such as the Navigation Act as mentioned in question 2. The reason Britain allowed the neglect because the colonies and trade thrived. (P.S yep that's question 3 follow me to question 4)
George Washing want independence from England for the same reason as many in the colonies. There was no fairness in the way the colonists were treated when it came to the king's edicts, taxes, and statutes.
