北美13个殖民地是英国人建立和管辖的海外领地,宗主国对其实行较为宽松的统治政策,从而使其获得了稳步而迅速的发展,并为其最终脱离英国取得独立奠定了基础。北美独立运动的直接导因并不是所谓的高压政策,而是殖民地居民主动谋求更大利益和独立发展的政治诉求。所以,从性质上说美国独立运动是一场政治分离运动。 The 13 colonies in North America are the overseas territories established and administered by the British. The sovereign state exercised a more lenient rule over them, resulting in steady and rapid development and laying the foundation for their ultimate independence from the United Kingdom. The direct cause of the North American independence movement is not the so-called high-pressure policy but the political appeal of the colonial inhabitants seeking greater benefits and independent development. So, by nature, the American independent movement is a political separatist movement.
