Question
Answer the following question briefly:
The American War of Independence was the first organized political revolution in the history of the world. In this context answer the following question:
How was an American colony governed? Why were the colonists resentful?
Solution
Each American colony had its own Assembly elected by the people of the colony but the governor of the colony was appointed by the British government. The Governor was not responsible to the Assembly. He governed the colony in the interest of England, the mother country, and not the colonists. This caused great resentment among the American settlers who worked very hard but could not enjoy the fruits of their labour.
