1. How involved do you think the British Monarch was in colonial affairs? Did colonists have a say in government?

Colonies were strictly part of the British Monarch and controlled as well.

Explanation:

British establish colonies in the New World to gain raw materials and make profits. They did not want the Americans to gain self-dependent by engaging in trading with the other Europeans nation. The British put taxes on imported goods to discourage this practice, and this forced the colonists to buy only British goods. The Navigation Acts and the Sugar Act passed to regulate the colonial trade. The government treated colonists in the colonies differently from those at English. Colonists were ignored by the government, which led them to form the continental army and fought for independence.

b) the confederacy had to pay all union war expenses.
