Colonial America developed a habit of self government. The main reason for this was because Britain was busy fighting war with France. It fought the Seven Years’ War in 1763. This war consumed Britain politically as well as economically because such wars are expensive ("5. The American Revolution | THE AMERICAN YAWP", 2018). Another reason that kept Britain occupied was the competing visions of empire.
