toc =Life in the English Colonies=

Throughout much of the 1600s, Great Britain had left is American colonies to run themselves **(salutary neglect)**. Since the colonists had such freedom to choose as they saw fit, a variety of different, and unique, representative governments were established and developed. By the late 1600s though, a number of key events occurred that would lead people to challenge the ultimate authority of monarchs, promote the ideas of spiritual equality, and call into question what the true relationship between a government and its people should be. These events, as well as England's attempts to take back more control over the colonies, will have a major impact on colonial society. = =
