That's an interesting thesis, and it makes a lot of sense, though I wonder to what degree people were already managing their own affairs without British assistance on a local level. After all, England had a Civil War the previous century, and apart from a few local administrators the British government did not seem to have a very heavy hand outside of the port cities.
Anyway, I love your blog - I am adding it to my list of teaching resources for my Early American history course.
Cheers,
Matt
