What was collectively known as British North America?

  1. The Atlantic colonies and the two Canadas (Upper/Lower)

  2. The original thirteen colonies

  3. The French territories in North America

  4. The Spanish colonies in the Americas

The correct answer is: The Atlantic colonies and the two Canadas (Upper/Lower)

British North America refers to the British controlled territories in North America before the American Revolutionary War. The Atlantic colonies and the two Canadas (Upper/Lower) were under British rule, while the original thirteen colonies were British colonies that later became independent as the United States. The French territories (such as Louisiana, Quebec, and Nova Scotia) were also in North America but were not part of British North America. The Spanish colonies were located in Central and South America and were not part of British North America. Thus, the correct answer is A.
