British North America

British North America is a region in the world that includes the countries of Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean Islands. This area was originally home to many Indigenous people, and in the 1700s, the British government started sending settlers to live in the region. The settlers formed the British colonies of Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean Islands. The British government then passed laws that governed these colonies and helped them to become strong and independent countries. The countries in British North America now have their own governments and laws, and work together as friends and allies.
