Secretary of State for the Colonies

Okay kiddo, so imagine you have a very big family and you all live in a big house. The house is called a country and it has many rooms called colonies.

Now, the Secretary of State for the Colonies is like a person who helps take care of these rooms or colonies. They make sure everything is running smoothly and people are happy.

They also help make important decisions about the colonies like what rules they should follow and how they should be treated. Kind of like a mom or dad who makes decisions for the family.

So basically, the Secretary of State for the Colonies helps make sure all the colonies are okay and everyone is getting along.
