What was an unexpected result of the british policy of salutary neglect toward the american colonies? the colonies became richer than britain wanted. the colonies’ dependence upon british rule grew. the colonies developed a separate american identity. the colonies began to develop self-government.

The correct answer is The colonies developed a separate American identity.

The policy of salutary neglect refers to the idea that the British were hands off in terms of controlling the colonies. This meant that the American colonists had a significant amount of freedom. For example, they could trade with other countries, develop their own ideas about government and how it should be run, etc. Even though laws were implemented to keep the colonies and Great Britain together, they were not strictly enforced. This helped to develop a separate American identity.
