I have a suggestion, since at this point the British North American Colonies were just that one unit, why does the page omit other import events in British North America just because they occurred in the territory in what would become the nation-state of Canada? Did the 13 Atlantic colonies exist independent of the others, at this time no. I understand this is US history but it did not start in a vacuum. Furthermore, the Atlantic Colonies themselves existed in rather isolation from one another up until and durin the Rev. including a large amount of self-sov. and autonomy. My suggestion is that they should be listed under on category as British North American Colonial History until the Am. Revolution or War of Independence and 1782. currently it is very Americentric and does not serve history well. Thanks from a "worldly" Yank! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.82.9.111 (talk) 12:40, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
