Answer:
The colonies developed a separate American identity, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The British government followed an official policy of Salutary Neglect in those colonies that influenced Massachusetts during the 18th century. This policy was a prearranged lack of implementation by the British parliament of British trade regulations in the colonies of America. This policy was adopted to ease the implementation of strict laws, in particular, the trade laws, forced on the colonies of America. However, one of the unexpected results of this policy can be seen in the fact that the colonies developed a separate American identity.
