Before 1760, the British governed the American colonies through a system of salutary neglect, allowing them considerable autonomy and self-governance, with local assemblies managing most affairs. However, after 1760, following the French and Indian War, Britain sought to exert more direct control and raise revenue through measures like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, leading to increased tensions and resistance among the colonists. This shift marked a transition from relative independence to a more authoritarian approach, ultimately contributing to the American Revolution.
1760 is in the 1760's. Thus, 1760-1769 is a decade.
During the 1760s, America consisted primarily of thirteen British colonies along the Atlantic coast, stretching from New England in the north to Georgia in the south. These colonies were characterized by diverse economies, cultures, and social structures, with significant populations of English, African, Irish, and German settlers. Tensions between the colonies and Britain escalated during this decade due to increasing taxation and restrictions imposed by the British government, setting the stage for the American Revolution. The decade was marked by growing calls for independence and self-governance among colonists.

The British governed with little supervision of the American colonies before 1760.Britain's harsh tax and trade policies of the 1760s fanned resentment in the colonies.
In 1760, the southern colonies were governed by royal governors appointed by the British Crown. The legislative bodies in these colonies, such as the House of Burgesses in Virginia and the General Assembly in South Carolina, had some power to create and pass local laws, but ultimately the governors had significant authority and control over colonial affairs.

It depended on the colony. Several of the colonies such as Virginia and Massachusetts, had elected representatives and were virtually self-governing. Others, such as the southern colonies were still governed by royal appointees.
Around that time the Imperial Crisis was going on. Imagine the regulation National-Socialist Germany (the third reich) had on their people, or the Soviet Union had on theirs.

In the 1760's, half of the two million people living in British Colonies lived on the Atlantic Coast. They lived east of the Appalachians.
Tobacco, from the American colonies. Gold, silver, spices and slaves from most of the other ones in Africa and India.
By 1760, the American colonies were integral to the British Empire, providing significant economic benefits through trade, raw materials, and agricultural products. They contributed to Britain's wealth and global influence, serving as markets for British goods. The colonies were largely self-governing but remained under British authority, leading to tensions over taxation and representation. This complex relationship laid the groundwork for future conflicts and the quest for independence.
George I (1714-1727) and George II (1727-1760) were British monarchs before 1800.
The US was not a country in 1760 and thus had no states. At that time, the US was still a British colony and composed of 13 colonies (which also became the first 13 states of the US).
