In 1775, the Colonists tried to patch up differences by sending a petition to the King of England. This petition called for a variety of measures in which the Colonies would agree to the King's demands under a few conditions. The King would not even read the petition, so the next step was the Revolutionary War.

What is the significance of salutary neglect?

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.
