British outnumbered them. North America had a mainly British influence.<br><br>In order to gain the trust of native Indians, the British issued the Royal Proclamation (1763) reserving them land. The Quebec Act was also issued around that time (1774). A year later G. Washington authorized invasion of Quebec and Nova Scotia. To sum, New France (Canada) passed from one empire to another.&nbsp;<br><br>An important milestone was the Declaratory Act that concede taxation to the colonies, this allowed that revenues of the colonies were spent in the colonies.&nbsp;<br><br>Hence, the American Revolution changed the way inn which the British handled colonies. <br><br><br></div>]]></description>
