United Provinces of America (Washington Shot at Murdering Town!)

North American Revolt
See main article: American Revolt

Formation of the United Provinces
Following the eventual defeat of the Rebels in 1778, the British Government took steps to ensure that the colonies would not revolt again. The United Provinces of America were formed on April 16th, 1780, from the 13 colonies and the Districts (later Provinces) of Maine and Vermont.

The new nation was to be formed, autonomous of, but still subservient to, the British Parliament, whose authority was still required on the more important matters of state.
