The colonists came to think of themselves as "Americans" for several reasons. The first is that many times, once a group of colonists had settled in the New World, England gave them short shrift. They had to learn to fend for themselves, and become greatly independent of in tht they had to learn how to make or grow the things they needed. Second, England tried to tax the colonies to death for the goods they did deliver, but were not wiling to give the colonists any say in what taxes were levied.

Why did colonists begin to view Africans as different from themselves?

Colonists began to view Africans as different from themselves primarily due to the economic drive for labor in plantation societies, which led to the establishment of a racial hierarchy that dehumanized enslaved Africans. This perception was reinforced by the need to justify slavery, portraying Africans as inferior and fundamentally different in terms of civilization and culture. Additionally, colonial attitudes were shaped by pseudoscientific beliefs and cultural stereotypes that emphasized racial differences, further entrenching the divide between colonists and Africans.
