No offense, but I think Americans are somewhat narrow-minded in that they only focus on their own pre-revolution history, rather than look at their SHARED pre-revolution history with other British North Americans. When offering a general discussion of British American colonies of that time, there is no reason to exclude Newfoundland and Nova Scotia - it's already pointed out in the article that the British colonies differed widely in character, founding principles, etc, so why exclude these colonies? Even after the declaration of independence, two sides of the story should be told, both from the side of the colonies which participated in the revolution, and those which fought against it. </p> <dl><dd><dl><dd>I agree. I am American, but there is no narrow mindedness here. Although, I thought the 13 colonies were administered separately from those up in modern day Canada? I vote for "British North America", and, as well I would add in the country infobox with appx population, official flag, languages. In fact, if I get no objection I will add the infobox myself. IT would really help the article look better, although I request help from those who might have demographics information for the time period (Canadians? I think maybe you guys might know as you were all in the colonies for much longer) <a href="/wiki/User:Pzg_Ratzinger" title="User:Pzg Ratzinger">user:Pzg Ratzinger</a></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p>I find it a bit strange that this is not linked to British history in the context of all its other colonies in British America? I mean while the 13 (then 14 Colonies) and Canada and the Caribbean colonies / Central American Colonies were ruled in a non-confederate sense, they were all ruled by Great Britain. I find it a bit strange to claim this is an American history page when there was no United States of America at the time. There seems to be a huge historical disambiguation between North America and America in-terms of British rule, either way this written in a historical vacuum with no links to the other American colonies. </p><p><br/> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id=""North_America"_misleading" data-mw-thread-id="h-"North_America"_misleading"><span id=".22North_America.22_misleading"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-"North_America"_misleading"></span>"North America" misleading<span data-mw-comment-end="h-"North_America"_misleading"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Colonial_history_of_the_United_States&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: "North America" misleading"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>This article is very misleading.
