By the mid-1700s, the relationship between Britain and the colonies had become, in fact if not in form, federal. This meant that the central governement in London was responsible for colonial defense and for foreign affairs. It also provided a uniform system of money and credit and a common market for colonial trade. Beyond that, the colonies were allowed a fairly wide amount of self-rule. It wasn't until the end of the French and Indian war (1760s) that Britain began to become more involved and heavily tax its colonies to pay for the efforts in the war.
