Answer 1

“Dual identity” for North American British colonists resulted from their identity as British as well as Americans.

The answers of sub parts are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Dual identity was the identification of American citizens with Britain as well as America.

B. In the time of the 18th century Britain was laying a claim of superiority over other imperialistic places of the world and was empyrean its own colonists to this in some places.

The french and the Indian war had involved the participation of many people from the Americas too who had by then been there for multiple generations and had developed a distinctly American life for themselves.

C. The duality came from the fact that they identified themselves with the British where their roots were but also with their new home as a separate entity of its own. This eventually led to the American war of independence as the American identity won over.
