What major change resulted from the american revolution in the former british colonies in north america

After the American Revolution, the United States was now recognized as their own independent and sovereign nation. This means that the US, for the first time in their history, got to develop their own laws, taxes, and system of government.

This was extremely diffierent than the pre-Revolution era. This is because before the revolution, the 13 colonies were under the complete control of Great Britain. The American colonies had to follow British laws and were forced to pay taxes passed by the British parliament.

Until the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763, few colonists in British North America objected to their place in the British Empire. Colonists in British America reaped many benefits from the British imperial system and bore few costs for those benefits. Indeed, until the early 1760s, the British mostly left their American colonies alone. The Seven Years' War (known in America as the French and Indian War) changed everything. Although Britain eventually achieved victory over France and its allies, victory had come at great cost. A staggering war debt influenced many British policies over the next decade. Attempts to raise money by reforming colonial administration, enforcing tax laws, and placing troops in America led directly to conflict with colonists. By the mid-1770s, relations between Americans and the British administration had become strained and acrimonious.
