Everything about British North America totally explained
British North America consisted of the
loyalist colonies and territories (for example, post-1783) of the
British Empire in continental
North America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
At the start of the
American Revolutionary War in 1775, the British Empire included twenty colonies north of
Mexico.
East Florida and
West Florida were ceded to
Spain in the
Treaty of Paris (1783) which ended the American Revolutionary War, and then ceded by Spain to the
United States in 1819. All but one of the remaining colonies of British North America joined together from 1867 to 1873 forming the
Dominion of Canada.
Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949.
The term
British North America was first used informally in 1783, but it was uncommon before the
Report on the Affairs of British North America (1839), called the Durham Report. Formally, the British Colonies in North America were known as "
British America" and the "
British West Indies" until 1783, and after that, "British North America" and the "British West Indies".
