How to turn 13 colonies into the U.S.A?

1) - The British government let each colony elect a local council to make laws and run local affairs.

2) - It only appointed a governor to each colony to share power with the local council.

3) - The 13 Colonies did not like this. They feared that British would rule them with absolute power. This became an underlying factor of war.

4) - Britain's attempt to tax the 13 Colonies made them even more discontented.

5) - The 13 Colonies won independence from Britain, and the United States was born.
