BOOK II Tlie National Government * CHAPTER XXXIII ORIGIN AND PURPOSE OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT 269. The Colonial Government.—Before the Revo-lutionary war which made the United States inde-pendent, the thirteen States which united to formour Union were thirteen separate colonies, belongingto Great Britain. Their governments had no con-nection with each other, any more than now existsbetween the two British colonies of Jamaica andNewfoundland. Each colony had a legislature ofits own that managed its own local affairs; but thingsthat concerned the outside world, such as foreigntrade, war, and relations with foreign countries, weremanaged for each colony by the government of GreatBritain. 270. The Revolution Necessitates a Central Govern-ment.—When the Declaration of Independence an-nounced that the colonies had severed their connection * The national government is often spoken of as the federal g^overnment.Both terms are used in this book to mean the same thing. 164 CIVIL GOVERNMENcivilgovernmento00wall
