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.

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.
