John Smith was an English soldier, sailor, and author
1580-1631
Jamestown
He is chiefly remembered for his role in establishing the first permanent English settlement in North America, and his brief association with the Native American girl Pocahontas. He was a leader of the Virginia Colony, based at Jamestown, and thus one of the first heads of government in Anglo-America. He led an interesting life, and played a critical role in successfully interacting with the Native Americans. However, in his books, his boastful nature has made it difficult for historians to separate fact from fiction |

An attempt to solve labor shortages due to the advent of the tobacco economy, which required large plots of land with many workers
1618
Jamestown, Virginia, U.S.
Virginian colonists were each given two headrights of 50 acres (200,000 m²) each, immigrant colonists who paid for their passage were given one headright, and individuals would receive one headright each time they paid for the passage of another individual. This last mechanism increased the division between the wealthy land-owners and the working poor. Many people came to the colonies in an attempt to gain land, but were denied headrights by "Kings”. |

An uprising in late 17th century in which militia Captain Jacob Leisler seized control of lower New York.

Colonial New York, U.S.
The rebellion established a core of rebellious sentiment against British domination, and reinforced the sentiment that the colonies were subject to British rule by their free will, not nature. At the same time, the presence of British soldiers on colonial soil and the reinvigorated enforcement of the heretofore neglected Navigation Acts led to increased tension between colonists and British forces. |

an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain enacted in 1732 to control hat production by the Americans in the colonies
1732
U.S. and Britain
It specifically placed limits on the manufacture, sale, and exportation of American-made hats, which were predominantly fashioned from beaver pelts. The act also restricted hiring practices by limiting the number of workers that hat makers could employ, and placing limits on apprenticeships. The law's effect was that Americans in the colonies were forced to buy British-made goods, and this artificial trade restraint meant that Americans paid four times as much for hats and cloth imported from Britain than for local goods |

An undocumented, though longstanding, British policy of avoiding strict enforcement of parliamentary laws meant to keep the American colonies subservient to Great Britain.
1690 to 1750
Great Britain
It is believed that salutary neglect was a large contributing factor that led to the American Revolutionary War. Since the imperial authority didn't assert the power that it had, the colonists were left to govern themselves. These essentially sovereign colonies soon became accustomed to the idea of self-control. The effects of such prolonged isolation eventually resulted in the emergence of a collective identity that considered itself separate from Great Britain |
