Why did some colonist feel a separate identity from other british subjects

The colonists had a highly developed sense of identity and unity as Americans by the eve of the revolution, but it took longer to attain colonial unity than a distinct identity. Many of the colonies were envious or suspicious of each other, which delayed colonial unity. These small barriers were removed when the colonists began fighting to preserve their rights and later began fighting for their independence from Great Britain. The colonists were losing their Englishidentity by the eve of the AmericanRevolution. Decades of domestic conflict and neglect by the British government forced the colonists to develop strategies for self government.
