  • Summary

  • In this episode, John explains the various ways in which the colonists in the 13 British North American colonies were connected to Britain during the period of Salutary Neglect. John goes over the factors that made remaining a part of the British empire attractive to the colonists in order to help the listeners understand why revolution seemed unlikely for most of the 1700s. There were economic, political and military advantages to being under the British umbrella that John unpacks as he seeks to make sense of how, though many colonists had little patriotic attachment to Great Britain, they nonetheless saw themselves as proper British subjects who benefited from the imperial economy and government.
