What was colonial America? Who ran it?

Colonial America was a period in American history from the early 1600s to the mid-1700s, when British colonists settled in North America.

The British monarchy was the main ruling body of colonial America and the British Royal Charter granted the colonies some autonomy.

Each of the American colonies had its own government and elected its own representatives, who had to answer to the British government.

The colonies were divided into three geographical regions: New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies.

The economy of colonial America was based on farming, fishing, and trading with Native American tribes.

Religion played an important role in colonial America, with Puritans, Quakers, and Catholics among the most prominent denominations.

Slavery was also a large part of colonial America, with a majority of slaves being African Americans brought from Africa to work on plantations.
