His General Wolfe then won Quebec by scaling a cliff considered too steep to climb by the French who therefore under guarded it, and stopped many supply routes that had to run through Quebec. Then the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1763 ending the War. But then the Pontiacś war happened and brought the Proclamation of 1763 that made the colonist upset because they had to leave their land past the Appalachians so they just disregarded it.

Direct link to David Alexander's post “Start from understanding ...” Start from understanding that the same word, used in different contexts, can mean something different. The word in question here is "republican". In the 18th century, before American independence from the British Empire and the establishment of a separate nation, to be a "republican" meant to support the idea of self-government without regard to the King. So,in the final paragraph of the lesson, understand both "republicanism" and "republican spirit" to mean, "governed by the peoples' selected representatives, not by the King and the British Parliament".

also promised that they would be able to rule themselves forever. They had been ruling themselves for 100 years because the king said they could forever. Does the term “salutary neglect” by KA's definition really apply here?
"Robert Cushman and John Carver were sent to England to solicit a land patent. Their negotiations were delayed because of conflicts internal to the London Company, but ultimately a patent was secured in the name of John Wincob on June 9 (Old Style)/June 19 (New Style), 1619.[23] The charter was granted with the king's condition that the Leiden group's religion would not receive official recognition.[24]"
"The charter was incomplete for the Plymouth Council for New England when the colonists departed England (it was granted while they were in transit on November 3/November 13).[27] They arrived without a patent; the older Wincob patent was from their abandoned dealings with the London Company. Some of the passengers, aware of the situation, suggested that they were free to do as they chose upon landing, without a patent in place, and to ignore the contract with the investors.[37][38]"
The Mayflower Compact was then drawn up and approved by majority vote.
As far as "salutary neglect", I don't think it applies here. In 1691, Plymouth colony was merged with the Massachusetts Bay Colony and no longer recognized as a separate colony.
