You loyal readers will remember how European nations snapped up chunks of the New World in order to have bases of operation for overseas trade. By the 1770s, the British people who lived in America's 13 colonies had grown to like that their king lived across the Atlantic Ocean, far far away. They'd begun to think of themselves as 'autonomous'—that they might more or less rule themselves.
