British America instance of former administrative territorial entity
British America comprised the colonial territories of the English Empire, and the successor British Empire, in the Americas from 1607 to 1783.  These colonies were formally known as British America and the British West Indies just before the thirteen of the colonies declared their independence in the American Revolution (1765–1791) and formed the United States of America.After the American Revolutionary War, the term British North America was used to refer to the remainder of Great Britain's possessions in what became Canada, and British West Indies to various islands and what became Belize. The term British North America was used in 1783, but it was more commonly used after the Report on the Affairs of British North America (1839), generally known as the Durham Report.
