The intial focus of this
unit will
be on change and growth in the English colonies
during the 18th century, up to 1763, when (as we shall see in the next
unit)
the nature of English governance of the colonies changed. Much of
this
growth was driven by changes in Europe--most especially, of course, in
the
case of four successive colonial wars. After 1763, the focus will
be on the growing divisions between the American colonies and Great
Britain as they evolved through a series of crises, ending with the
decision to declare independence.
