British America referred to the group of colonies in North America and the Caribbean belonging to Great Britain.
The country was claimed by England in the 17th Century and began to be a home for slave trade. British America got more land during the French and Indian War and the Seven Years War, but fell after Anericans fought for their independence during the American Revolutionary War.
